Ribbon cut on renovated Charles Ives House in Danbury

The ribbon has been cut on a renovated Charles Ives House in Danbury.  The Danbury Museum and Historical Society says the Saturday ceremony was the culmination of more than two years of work.  Ives was a Pulitzer Prize winning composer and one of the first American composers of international renown.  Tours of the Ives Birthplace, beginning on June 25th, can be booked via the organization's website, and will be a discounted $10 this summer during the soft open of the house to visitors. Savings Bank of Danbury, which was launched in 1849 from the house, provided support.  The house was moved three times throughout its history. It was originally on Main Street, but two local banks needed to expand. It was moved a third time to allow for the construction of the nearby school.
