Plus Monthly "Family Saturdays!"

I just wanted you to know that the Connecticut State Library and the Museum of Connecticut History announced that it will be open Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and also for one Saturday per month, during the year-long Connecticut’s Revolution exhibit! The β€œFamily Saturdays” will continue through June 2027, and as always, admission is free.

According to the announcement: Connecticut’s Revolution examines how Connecticut residents affected, and were affected by, the events of the American Revolution. The exhibit explores the ideas and experiences of the people who made history: Connecticut’s soldiers and statesmen, Patriots and Loyalists, painters and printers, farmers and sailorsβ€”men, women, and children from America, Europe, and Africa.

The Museum of Connecticut History’s exhibit team used documents and objects in the Connecticut State Library’s museum collections to tell their stories to β€œreveal how Connecticut changed during this revolutionary time and how Connecticut, in turn, changed the world.”
