Very cool history museum with exhibits for young and old alike. Friendly staff and lots of information. Tiny soap souvenirs shaped like gravestones.

This is so worth the trip that we returned again this year. There is so much history here and there are such helpful people at this place that you should take the time to visit and do some research. Just remember, not open on Mondays! We signed up for a behind the scenes tour and were blown away!! You can't imagine the items of historic value that we saw! Thank you for making this possible!

There is very little of interest in the museum. Sparse collections with little curatorial effort. If you are a professional historian/geneologist be forewarned, they make you pay admission to research. I have been to archives all around the nation and never once been charged. Disappointing.

This place is a gem! The exhibits are beautiful and filled with amazing items from Connecticut's history. I have never seen such a diverse collection in such a beautiful setting. We spent about 4 hours in the museum. We are going back to check out the library next time. It was easy to get to and there's loads of safe, free parking.
