From colonial to modern times, how did Connecticans tie the knot? Come explore 300-plus years of wedding customs and traditions through CMCH’s collection. You’ll go behind the scenes into CMCH’s collections storage areas to look at clothing, photographs, and other artifacts that document changes and continuities in wedding celebrations over time.

In this tour, you’ll visit storage and collection areas not normally open to the public, and learn how the CMCH preserves the stories of Connecticut.

Tours last approximately 1 hour and are appropriate for ages 12 and up. Space is limited, and pre-registration is required. Questions? Call (860) 236-5621 x289 or email [email protected].
