Great place to hang out with family.
Small , but the history of the State of Connecticut is all there. Original State Charter of 1639 etc. And the display of Colt firearms is very impressive.
Fascinating exhibits, which is focused on Connecticuts government, military and industrial history, trace the growth of our state and its role in the development of the nation. The collections include portraits of 72 Governors of Connecticut, American coins from as early as the 17th-century and Colt firearms.Interestingly, the 231 Capitol Avenue residence, which is located across the Connecticut State Capitol, is made up of Connecticut Supreme Court, State Library, and Museum of Connecticut History.
Very interesting. Good information about CT and US. Is small but nice. Sharing the building with the library (is amazing) and the supreme court (pretty). A good place to learn.
Small museum that can be visited in under an hour. Admission is free. The exhibitions are a loose collection of local items and memorabilia. While interesting when seen individually, they lacked the cohesive story and narrative expected of a history museum. Also missing are the exhibitions that would fill the gap and allow visitors to piece together a story. Some serious curatorial work is definitely in order.The museum is in an elegant building that also houses a public library and courthouse. Check them out as they are quite beautiful and picture-worthy.
