p. Guided Tours of the Prudence Crandall Museum

 Fridays & Mondays 10 am, 11:30 am, 1:30 pm & 3 pm. Saturdays & Sundays 11:30 am & 3 pm thru Walktober Entry Fee Event,

The tour is of the exhibit “Canterbury Female Boarding School: Courage, Conscience, & Continuance,” and encompasses five rooms of the first floor. After the tour, which lasts about an hour, visitors are welcome to return to the exhibit for further exploration. The museum is not decorated as a traditional historic house museum. Teachers, students, and supporters left few primary sources on how rooms were used during the time the Canterbury Female Boarding School was in operation, and few artifacts connected to the school have survived. The exhibit shares the stories of the school’s teachers and students and demonstrates expressions of support and opposition at the town, state, national, and global levels during the tumultuous 17 months the school remained open. Tours are conversational. Groups of 10 -15 can reserve tours on Thursdays. Sponsored by Prudance Crandall Musuem, portal.ct.gov/ecd-prudencecrandallmuseum
