Behind-the-Scenes Tour: Furniture from Claw Feet to Gilded Finial

October 24, 2015 @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm

Don’t miss your chance to peek in the drawers of the CMCH’s acclaimed furniture collection. From the Chapin workshop in the mid-1700s up to mid-Twentieth-century modern industrial design, explore the rich heritage of furniture in Connecticut. 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) 236-5621×289 or email Jenny Steadman.

Tickets are $10 for CMCH members, and $15 for non-members.

Tickets are available online here.
