Connecticut's Old State House

Connecticut Arts Docent Network (CADN) Thursday, October 15th | 9 am – 1:30 pm at Connecticut’s Old State House Includes hands-on workshop activity and a tour of Connecticut’s Old State House. $25 Members; $35 Non-members
How do you help fourth graders, teens, and out-of-state visitors find meaning in the same museum object?
Join us for a talk and hands-on activities that will unlock the stories hidden in one of Connecticut’s most remarkable treasures by looking at it through a variety of lenses. We’ll explore Gilbert Stuart’s 1801 portrait of George Washington, commissioned by Connecticut’s General Assembly in the months following Washington’s death. Using entry points such as conservation, stewardship, artistic ambition, Connecticut’s ties to Washington, and the full complexity of Washington as a historical figure, this session will find ways to help visitors uncover stories embedded in museum objects.
Whether you work with elementary school groups or seasoned art and history enthusiasts, this session will give you practical, flexible tools for turning any object into a conversation — and any visitor into someone who leaves wanting to know more.
Schedule 9:00 am – Check in and breakfast 9:30 am – Welcome 9:45 am – Warm up activity 10:15 am – Keynote: One Painting, Many Stories: The Art of Finding Meaning in Objects 11:00 am – Concluding activity 11:30 am – Break 11:45 pm – Tour of Connecticut’s Old State House &amp; time in exhibit spaces 1:00 pm – Self exploration of Hartford and lunch on your own
Parking available in nearby garages and on the street. Details provided with confirmation.

Connecticut Museum of Culture and History

Join us for a presentation by a leading scholar of early America about the legacy of the Declaration of Independence.
In this talk, historian Michael D. Hattem asks: why have Americans developed such an emotional connection to the nation’s founding for nearly 250 years? He will discuss the importance of how generations of Americans have told the story of the Revolution, how politics have shaped how the Revolution has been remembered, and how Americans have fought over the meanings and legacy of the Revolution for nearly 250 years. In doing so, he will explain why the American Revolution has had such a unique place in the nation’s politics and culture.
Be sure to come early before the event to browse our special exhibition, Rebellious, which reflects on moments throughout Connecticut history when its people came together, pushed back, and sparked change to pursue their own visions of life, liberty, and happiness in America.
This event is presented in partnership with the Association for the Study of Connecticut History (ASCH) and is free to attend for ASCH members! To learn more about ASCH, visit their website.

It’s time for some sweet competition! Connecticut’s Old State House is pleased to host its 5th Annual Election Cake Bake Off. Connecticut pastry chefs and bakers will go whisk to whisk to have their confection crowned the official Connecticut Election Cake of 2026.
Election Day in Connecticut once combined voting with parties, libations, parades, and cake! Stores sold special Election Cake ingredients to women who transformed them into spice cakes to serve to the crowds gathered to celebrate voting at the State House and other sites. Help us revive this long-lost Connecticut tradition! “Election Day Cakes are a great Connecticut tradition—and a sweet reminder that voting is something to celebrate with both pride and community spirit,” says Stephanie Thomas, Secretary of the State. “I’m especially excited to join our Kid Governor and Cabinet. Their passion for civic engagement and cake judging skills make them the perfect partners for this delicious celebration.”
Connecticut’s Old State House has invited professional pastry chefs and bakers to create the official Connecticut Election Cake for 2026. Each competitor is challenged to create a delectable, non-partisan, election-themed cake that inspires voters and celebrates American democracy.
Bring a date or bring the family and help our panel of judges vote on presentation, creativity, and taste!. The winner of the bake off will be bestowed the honor of baking the cake for the annual birthday celebration of Connecticut’s Old State House in 2027.<a href="https://eventvesta.com/events/160387/t/tickets" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">View Tickets</a> &amp; More info

Acoustic performance and Q&amp;A with Hayes Photo and signing opportunity with Hayes Limited edition tour poster &amp; laminate 10% off merchandise at the show Early access to the venue HAYES CARLL Hayes Carll isn’t preaching or teaching. He’s not interested in telling the rest of us what to do or think. But he is charting out a personal guide for his life, quieting the noise, and sitting with his real voice – the one that’s candid, consistent, and often inconvenient.
We’re Only Human is Carll’s tenth album. Like his best lyrics, it is also an understated masterpiece, an honest snapshot of one man’s confrontation and delight with humanity’s biggest and most intimate questions. Where do we find forgiveness for ourselves and grace for others? How do we hold on to peace of mind and stay present? What can we—and should we––trust? And how can we moor ourselves to, well, ourselves, in the midst of confusing, trying times? We’re Only Human offers audiences the chance to listen to Carll as he listens to himself.
“I’ve lived outside of myself for so long,” Carll admits. “Distractions, fear, anxiety, insecurity, and the complexity of being human in this world have so often pulled me away from being present or at peace.”
“I feel like there’s been a voice riding shotgun all my life, pushing me to do better, but I’ve struggled to listen to it,” Carll says. “The idea behind this record was to do the personal work I needed to do, then codify those lessons in song to serve as sort of breadcrumbs to get me back on the trail if, and inevitably when, I get lost again.”
Carll is more than two decades into a celebrated career. Praise from places such as Pitchfork and the New York Times––the latter of which yoked Carll’s ability to tackle tough issues with wry humor to Bob Dylan––punctuate a resume that includes Americana Music Awards and a Grammy nomination. His songs aren’t safe, but many of Nashville’s stars have recorded them, including Kenny Chesney, Lee Ann Womack, and Brothers Osborne. As a solo recording artist, Carll has long-since established himself as one of Americana’s most-played––and most loved––voices. His warm but crackling vocals, wit, and heart dance through wordplay that’s always clever, and never too precious.
As We’re Only Human collects moments of Carll figuring out how to be with himself, the songs feel forthright, hopeful, and timely. In today’s onslaught of instant gratification, rage-baiting headlines, glorified intolerance, and falling empathy, the record is a startling outlier: an artist’s raw, real-life effort to live well—both with himself and others. Carll embraces private epiphanies, and shares them with the world, allowing them to unfold for all to see and share.

After Multiple Sold-Out Performances in West Hartford, Parlor of Impossibilities is back!
Some evenings entertain you.
Others stay with you.
After a string of sold-out performances, Parlor of Impossibilities is back in West Hartford for an intimate theatrical experience unlike anything else in Connecticut.
Created by Las Vegas headliner Jason Bird, this isn't a traditional magic show. It's an elegant evening of mystery, psychology, impossible coincidences, and astonishing demonstrations of human perception, performed just feet from the audience in an intimate parlor setting.
With only 60 guests admitted to each performance, every reaction matters. Every impossible moment happens in full view. There are no camera tricks, no stooges, and nowhere for the impossible to hide.
For more than two decades, Jason Bird performed over 9,000 shows in Las Vegas, entertained more than one million people worldwide, and has appeared on television, including Fox,&nbsp;NBC's&nbsp;America's Got Talent, the CW's&nbsp;Masters of Illusion, and&nbsp;Penn &amp; Teller: Fool Us. But Parlor of Impossibilities is the show he's always wanted to create: sophisticated, immersive, thought-provoking, and unforgettable.
Guests don't simply leave asking, "How did he do that?"
They leave questioning what they know about wonder, illusion, the human mind, and the nature of reality itself.
Whether you're planning an unforgettable date night, celebrating a special occasion, or simply looking for something extraordinary, this is an evening you'll be talking about long after the final curtain.
Only 60 seats are available for each performance. Shows at 4pm &amp; 7pm.
