Divided Loyalty in Revolutionary Connecticut
What did the American Revolution mean to the people of Connecticut? This new presentation will draw from the Museum’s rich collection of artifacts and documents to tell the revolutionary story through the eyes of ordinary people. It explores the roots of revolutionary sentiment in Connecticut, and how people, both Patriot and Loyalist, experienced the traumatic circumstances of war while trying to meet the needs of everyday life.
