MADE IN CONNECTICUT: 22 MEMBER ART TRAIL CELEBRATED AT THE WADSWORTH
Connecticut has been celebrated for its cultural heritage for generations, yet in some ways, nonetheless, it has remained in the shadow of big cities along the I-95 corridor. Even today, people who dip into its august museums and historical societies are astonished by the depth and breadth of their holdings.
But perhaps it took like-minded visionaries to propose ways to build support for these special places under the banner of cultural tourism. Early efforts ultimately led to the creation of The Connecticut Arts Trail, a constellation of 22 museums and historic sites. A $25 annual Passport has further encouraged people to travel throughout the state and dip into its vast cultural well.
