There’s so much history in Connecticut to learn about. We’re lucky to live somewhere where so much of the past is preserved for us to witness. There’s no shortage of museums in the Nutmeg State, whether you’re looking for a hyper-specific focus on a particular topic or just want to learn about the way things were “back in the day.” One of my favorite ways to learn about an area’s history is to visit a historic home museum. When you’re young and dragged to historic houses on field trips, it’s hard to appreciate these places, but I find visiting as an adult to be so rewarding. Seeing all the vintage furniture and antiques as they would have been back in the day is a downright magical experience that feels like stepping into a time machine. One of the best historic homes in Connecticut is the Butler-McCook House and Garden in Hartford. Here, you’ll find both a fascinating home and a beautifully-manicured garden. Check it out:
