Jim Day

A portrait of Jim Day by Anthony DeCarlo

James "Jim" Day was a frequent donor to, and a friend of the Connections Museum. He worked for many years as a sound and lighting technician at Toad's Place, a popular concert venue in New Haven, CT. Jim also had an almost unimaginable amount of historical items in his warehouse in West Haven, CT.

Before his death in 2024, Jim donated frequently to the museum. All of his donations were driven across the country, in several trips, by Sarah Autumn.
