The Connecticut Coalition for History
There are hundreds of special places and special heritage and humanities organizations whose vitality is fundamental to the state’s quality of life and competitiveness. Museums, historic houses and farms, libraries, heritage sites and trails, and other significant sites and buildings tell the story of Connecticut and constitute the fabric of our communities, past, present and future. They are vital sources of civic engagement that help us envision and work together toward a positive future.
On March 28, 2018, #CTPlaces Advocacy Day celebrates the value of history and humanities in Connecticut.
Senator Duff from Norwalk will welcome everyone to the event at 11 AM. After the meeting, advocates are encouraged to visit their own legislators with their own powerful stories about their sites, and how important they are to the quality of life in their communities.
