About the Event
Presented by Taylor McClure, Museum Educator at the Connecticut Historical Society, this program highlights taverns in early Connecticut which were more than just a place to drink. Travelers and locals alike saw taverns as a place to be entertained, spread news and gossip, have a good meal, and get a night's lodging.
It is well known that Rufus Porter set up shop in taverns all over New England as an itinerant painter. This program will explore the sights, sounds, and personalities that Porter likely encountered in his travels.
