Virtual Exhibition: Coffee: A Connecticut Story
Coffee is more than a hot drink or a boost of caffeine. For Connecticans, it’s hundreds of years of history. It has fueled new ideas, social reform, and workers’ rights. It is comfort in wartime and connections across cultures. It is universal, yet distinctly Connecticut. Coffee: A Connecticut Story is a multisensory exhibition that explores our state’s coffee connections across time and place.
From Connecticut ports ushering in trade from the West Indies, to the birth of the traditional coffee house, to the rise of the integral “coffee break” you know and appreciate today, discover the unexpected role coffee has played in Connecticut over the centuries. Along the way, explore how coffee has affected lives and shaped cultures, and hear from local voices from today’s coffee community.
