DENISON HOMESTEAD
FALL IS IN THE AIR!
The days are getting shorter and the nights cooler! Make the most of this last weekend of summer and get outside and enjoy nature. The Museum is still closed for tours, however our 160 acres are open year-round for you and your family to enjoy. Take a hike and explore miles of trails that wind through our meadows and woodlands.

“A fallen leaf is nothing more than a summer’s wave goodbye."

Creating Connecticut

$25.50

Walt Woodward, a gifted story-teller, brings the history we thought we knew to life in new ways, from the nearly forgotten early presence of the Dutch, to the time when Connecticut was New England’s fiercest prosecutor of witches, the decades when Connecticans were rapidly leaving the state, and the years when Irish immigrants were hurrying into it. Creating Connecticut will leave you thinking about Connecticut's past––and its future––in a whole new way.

Price includes shipping & handling.
