About the Museum

Located in the heart of Hartford, Connecticut, Connecticut's Old State House served as a home to all three branches of Connecticut state government from 1796 to 1878. Some of CT’s most important stories of freedom, democracy, and civic action – from the Amistad and Prudence Crandall trials to the Constitutional Convention of 1818 – connect to this National Historic Landmark. Today, Connecticut’s Old State House serves as a history museum, gathering spot and place of civic exploration for thousands of local, national and international visitors each year.
