If you're a history buff like me, you'll be delighted to know that the Connecticut Historical Society offers free admission from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. as part of their "Free First Saturday" program. On the first Saturday of every month, they open the doors to their galleries in addition to offering programming for families at no cost.
The theme this past weekend was "Slinkies, Silly Putty, and More" featuring outdoor games such as croquet, 4 square, and hopscotch. Inside, children could make their own silly putty!
The museum's current exhibit, "Growing Up CT" highlights stories from Connecticut residents about their experiences growing up in CT as well as featuring on display many toys, games, and clothes. "Growing Up CT" will be running May 24th through October 15th.
You should mark your calendars now for September 3rd because you won't want to miss the next Free First Saturday!
