The Connecticut Office of Tourism is sponsoring the 15th annual Connecticut Open House Day. The one-day statewide event is designed to showcase Connecticut's diverse world of history, art, and tourism. Attractions and venues typically offer free or reduced price admission to encourage the public to discover the treasures in their own backyards. It's a great way for residents to discover or rediscover all that is happening in our state. We hope that once Connecticut residents learn about the wealth of treasures, they will share their newly gained appreciation and enthusiasm with visiting family and friends and become Connecticut ambassadors.
