In the spirit of our newest exhibition Coffee: A Connecticut Story, we’re offering an evening of trivia questions revolving around some of our favorite bad habits. Get ready to answer questions about junk food, junk TV, and other vices.
Join us for a screening of the short film "The 29th Connecticut Regiment and the Fight For Freedom," followed by a presentation by one of the filmmakers.
This month’s story is “The Soul Is Not A Smithy,” by David Foster Wallace.
Spice up that boring old date night with some historical romance. Bring your beau, gal, or best pal to the CMCH for a “backstage” look at some of the objects in our collection associated with love and lust through the ages. Then, settle down with some wine and chocolate treats while you draw a miniature framed portrait of your partner to take home as a romantic (or just amusing) keepsake.

The Connecticut Museum is pleased to invite all community members to a Vets' Town Hall. Veterans of any era who served in any capacity are invited to stand before their community and speak for up to ten minutes about what it was like to serve their country. Non-veterans are encouraged to attend and listen. This event is non-political, and all perspectives are valued.
Bring your sweetie or bestie to the museum for a look at some of the weirdest and creepiest items in our vaults, then relax with drinks and a fun Halloween-themed craft!
