Role-playing, interpretive areas and hands-on exhibits will explain to you how Litchfield became home to such a prestigious institution which educated hundreds of young men and women who would later play an important role in forming the foundations of the country’s democracy. You can start your visit by watching an informative video and complete your visit by taking a walking tour of the Historic District’s homes and businesses.
