- WHEN: From May 30th through October 18th, residents and visitors are invited to enjoy the historical and agricultural treasures found in our region’s backyard.
- WHO: Locally Grown History is a collaborative project that seeks to highlight and promote our region’s historical resources in engaging and coordinated ways. Our focus is on connecting historical communities, history enthusiasts, and visitors, as well as cultural and agricultural entities.
- WHY: Historical Societies and Museums as well as farms, orchards, and vineyards are important because many have historic significance and add to the enjoyment of the northwest corner of Connecticut. We believe that our historic sites have something for almost every interest and, when partnered with a visit to farms and agricultural sites, provide residents and visitors alike with the perfect outing—without traveling far and wide.
- WHERE: 48 towns in Northwest Connecticut are included in Locally Grown History. A project map, with an integrated History Hunt “passport” is available on the LGH's website and at all of the participating locations listed below.
