Join us in historic New Haven!
93rd Annual Hawley Society Reunion
October 8–12, 2026 | New Haven, Connecticut

As America approaches its 250th anniversary, the Hawley Society invites you to gather in one of New England’s earliest colonial settlements, New Haven, Connecticut, for a celebration of history, heritage, and family.

Our 2026 reunion, “Reconnecting with Our Roots: Hawleys at America’s 250” honors both the generations who helped shape this nation and the enduring bonds that unite us today. Together, we’ll reflect on our family’s early colonial ties, explore the historic heart of New Haven, and celebrate 250 years of American independence and Hawley legacy.

Detailed schedule and agenda will be finalized in June.
