The CHS presents a special traveling exhibition that looks at how Connecticut’s citizens have responded and reflected on this contemporary tragedy. The exhibit includes the “Connecticut Remembers” Memorial Board, photographs, memory objects, audio/video stations, and Connecticut’s 9/11 Memorial Library.

Connecticut’s 9/11 Objects

Soon after 9/11, the East Brooklyn, CT, Fire Department painted this sign and posted it outside their fire station to help raise money for a relief fund. In October 2006, they generously donated the sign to the CHS.
