A New Name. A New Vision.

Welcome to Connecticut Landmarks. Founded in 1936 as the Antiquarian & Landmarks Society, we are a state wide network of twelve significant historic properties that span four centuries of New England history. Our museums are starting points - landmarks in every sense - for deeper exploration and greater appreciation of the Connecticut experience. We have something for everyone. From captivating house tours to lovely historic gardens, history celebrations and remarkable collections of art and antiques. Our real-life stories, as told through our collections, make history matter.

In 2010, Connecticut Landmarks' historic sites, collections, and gardens will present an inspired season celebrating the abundant history right under our feet. From the colonial agricultural and maritime history of the Nathan Hale Homestead in Coventry and the Hempsted Houses in New London, to the story of the mid 20th century land conservation movement at the Bellamy-Ferriday House & Garden in Bethlehem, and the Victorian garden movement of the late 19th century at the Butler-McCook House & Garden in Hartford, Connecticut Landmarks is preparing a season aimed to get you outside, smelling the roses and reveling in the Connecticut landscape. Programs will include: the back-by-popular-demand Collectors & Explorers Lecture Series: The Inspired Landscape, in April; scavenger hunts using new and old technology; nature walks; Harvest to Hearth cooking programs; expanded and in-depth historic garden tours; community agriculture and more. Don't miss a thing! Sign up for Landmark E-News, CTL's monthly digest of history, highlights and happenings.
