EXHIBIT: The American Revolution: Artifacts and Stories from Across Connecticut In-Person
Connecticut in the American Revolution is a story of fervent patriots, heroic spies, and divided loyalties. This exhibit, consisting of images and text on six pop-up banners, highlights treasures from the Connecticut Museum of Culture and History collection that reveal the people and events that helped influence the war and shape the new nation.
From the diary of hero-spy Nathan Hale of Coventry to the bullet-ridden hat of 71-year-old soldier and casualty Phineas Meigs of Madison, to a rare surviving red coat owned by Munson Hoyt, a loyalist from Norwalk, these artifacts and images help preserve and bring to life the stories behind Connecticut's role in the war for independence.
