The Muppets: Movie at Pardee-Morris House with New Haven Preservation Trust

Sun Aug 4 , 2 – 4:30 pm

Hosted by New Haven Museum
Details While the Muppets might not be synonymous with historic preservation, the 2011 comedy musical film ​“The Muppets” seemed a natural choice for a collaborative event by the New Haven Museum and the New Haven Preservation Trust (NHPT) on the lawn of the Pardee-Morris House, on Sunday, August 4, 2024, at 2 p.m. All ages are welcome to laugh along with this family film (rated PG). For weather updates check FB/IG or call 203 – 562-4183. 

The National Trust for Historic Preservation included ​“The Muppets” on its list of 15 Awesome Preservation-Themed Movies. During the madcap caper, a devoted Muppet fan reunites the gang to help save the Muppet Theater from Tex Richman, a businessman who plans to demolish it to drill for oil. 

Former NHPT president Rona Johnston will make a few introductory remarks before the film. She notes she has dreamt of a NHPT gathering at the Pardee-Morris House since she first visited the Morris Cove setting that is brimming with history. ​“We hope visitors will see that saving old buildings is important for everyone, young and old, human and Muppet,” says Johnston. ​“We also hope those attending will get to know the Preservation Trust in a lighter-hearted mode.”
