EXPERIMENT STATION ASSOCIATES (ESA)
Picture
JOHNSON-HORSFALL LABORATORY, NEW HAVEN - The lab, built in 1904, houses the Departments of Analytical Chemistry and Biochemistry. It also contains a Biosafety Level 3 Containment Facility, certified by the CDC, required to handle agents such as West Nile virus. It was renovated and expanded in 2003.
​The Experiment Station Associates is a 501(c)(3) friends group that supports the work of The Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station (CAES).

CAES is a world-class research facility that directly benefits Connecticut. They disseminate scientific knowledge that improves agriculture, horticulture, the environment, food safety, public health and our quality of life. James G. Horsfall, director of CAES from 1948-1971, said “The station was an invention for making inventions.”

The Experiment Station was the first of its kind in the nation and served as the model for the many that followed. Established in 1875, primarily through the efforts of Samuel W. Johnson, the Station was founded to “put science to work for society.” Johnson believed that agriculture could be advanced by scientific investigation performed in conjunction with practical experimentation.


The board of directors of ESA meets four times a year. We hold an annual meeting in the early spring. The annual meeting is open to the public and features a guest speaker from CAES. There are also occasional tours and workshops. To contact us, email info@agstationfriends.org
