There are hundreds of special places and special heritage and humanities organizations whose vitality is fundamental to the state’s quality of life and competitiveness. Museums, historic houses and farms, libraries, heritage sites and trails, and other significant sites and buildings tell the story of Connecticut and constitute the fabric of our communities, past, present and future. They are vital sources of civic engagement that help us envision and work together toward a positive future.​
