The staff here is all wonderful and it’s a great place to explore whether On a guided tour or just by yourself. Highly recommend checking out the museum of oddities. There’s also an interactive scavenger hunt in the downstairs museum. Great for kids and teens or just adults wanting to learn more about CT history.
It is the mission of Connecticut's Old State House to reawaken citizen engagement and awareness by offering an authentic, educational and inspiring visitor experience. We're not exactly a museum. We're more like a laboratory or classroom - for both the physical and virtual worlds. We put ideas on display in our historic rooms and alongside our historic objects: ideas that celebrate democracy and citizenship, not just viewed from the past but for today as well.
