Local museums participating in state program for summer enrichment

The Connecticut Summer at the Museum is in full swing.  Connecticut children can receive free admission to more than 130 museums across the state during the summer months.  The program was established last year in response to the pandemic as a way of providing children with engaging summer enrichment and learning experiences. It is funded through a $15 million investment in federal funding Connecticut received from the American Rescue Plan Act.  Through September 5th, children aged 18 and under – plus one accompanying adult – can receive free admission to participating museums, historic sites, science centers, botanical gardens and zoos.  Connecticut residents should check each museum’s website to learn of any restrictions before visiting.  Some of the attractions in the Greater Danbury area include the Danbury Railway Museum, Harrybrooke Park in New Milford and Keeler Tavern Museum in Ridgefield.  The full list of participating museums is available at CTSummerMuseums.com.
