CT's Historic Gardens Day guests will save $1 off the price of regular museum admission for guided historic house tours of the Webb, Deane, and Stevens Houses. Together, the houses represent a series of significant milestones in the military, political, social, and economic history that saw America’s transformation from a series of colonies into a concerted nation. Admission includes access to two new exhibitions: Out of the Attic: A Century of Collecting, which showcases a dazzling array of pieces, some of them family heirlooms, that allow us to ask: “What is a collection” and “why is a gathering of objects significant?” and How to Build a Georgian House: Preservation in Action, which offers a fascinating step-by-step explanation of 18th-century construction techniques through architectural fragments and interpretive panels.
