Connecticut Landmarks


Connecticut Landmarks is an organization that has restored and operates significant historic house museums in Connecticut. Headquartered in Hartford, Connecticut, the organization founded in 1936 as the Antiquarian & Landmarks Society. Connecticut Landmarks now owns a statewide network of historic properties that span four centuries. Some museums are operated by other organizations. The organization's mission is "to inspire interest and encourage learning about the American past by preserving selected historic properties, collections and stories and presenting programs that meaningfully engage the public and our communities."

In February 2018, a series of articles was published by The Day detailing the alleged neglect of historic properties under their care, not following bequest terms, and misuse of funds. As a result, the attorney general's office has begun an investigation, stating: "I can confirm that our office's investigation has expanded to include a comprehensive review of Connecticut Landmarks' processes and performance in complying with charitable restrictions and obligations on assets its holds and manages."
