The dozens of tavern signs in our Auditorium once hung over busy public spaces where Connecticans ate, drank, slept, argued, celebrated, gambled, danced, and courted. On select Sundays at 2:00 pm, drop in for a gallery talk about tavern life in early Connecticut. You’ll learn how to decode the symbolism on some of our most inscrutable signs, and about why so few of these once-ubiquitous items have survived until today.
This gallery talk is included in regular museum admission. There’s no need to pre-register!
