New Themed Behind-the-Scenes Tours!
Every month reveals new treasures

Building on the popularity of last year's Behind-the-Scenes Collections Tours, the 2013 tours will offer new themes each month, highlighting gems of the collection that are not on display to the general public. Return often to experience all the CHS has to offer!

Behind-the-Scenes Tours will be held on the Second Saturday of every month at 11:00 am and 1:00 pm. Each tour lasts approximately 45 minutes and costs $5 for CHS members and $15 for non-members. Tickets include free admission to the museum for the entire day. Due to space restrictions, preregistration is highly recommended. Book online, email Jenny Steadman, or call (860) 236-5621 x289.
