SUMMARY:Tavern Talks at Connecticut Museum of Culture and History
DESCRIPTION:Step back into early Connecticut’s lively tavern culture during this engaging gallery talk surrounded by the museum’s remarkable collection of historic tavern signs.

Today\, they offer a fascinating glimpse into the social and cultural fabric of the past. \nOn Sunday\, March 8\, 2026\, from 2 pm to 2:30 pm\, visitors can explore the symbolism behind some of the museum’s most intriguing and mysterious signs\, and discover why so few of these once-common objects have survived. The program takes place at the Connecticut Museum of Culture and History\, 1 Elizabeth Street\, Hartford\, CT 06105\, and is included with regular museum admission. No pre-registration is required. \nFor questions\, contact Natalie Belanger\, Adult Programs Manager\, at nbelanger@connecticutmuseum.org or visit connecticutmuseum.org for additional details.
