Booking a Program at Connecticut's Old State House

To book a program:
Contact us at 860-522-6766, ext. 18 or email ronald.bolin@cga.ct.gov

All groups should make reservations in advance.
Please make your reservations at least three weeks in advance. Groups of ten or more that arrive at the door without advance reservations may be turned away if the museum is too crowded to accommodate them. If they can be admitted, they must pay full admission fees rather than the reduced group rate.

Cancellations must be made 24 hours in advance of the scheduled visit.

School groups must have at least one adult chaperone for every ten students.
Chaperones must remain with students at all times and actively supervise the visit. One adult for every ten students will be admitted at no cost. There will be a fee for additional adults.

Before you call:

• Select 2 - 3 potential dates for your visit.
• Know the number of students and chaperones attending.
• Select the programs that meet your curriculum needs and let us know if there
  is a content area you would like emphasized.
• Decide if you would like to eat lunch at the Old State House (see additional information below).
• Let the Old State House staff know if any students or teachers have special
  needs.
• Have your school's phone number and address easily available.
