Tavern Talks

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!
