CT Humanities

Connecticut is so fortunate to have so many powerhouse cultural organizations like Litchfield Historical Society working to preserve and share our state's stories. We are proud to contribute grant dollars and other types of support that institutions can leverage to get additional funding.

#FridayFactoid: Did you know Steve Jobs was majoring in creative humanities before he left to start Apple? “I always thought of myself as a humanities person as a kid, but I liked electronics. Then I read something that one of my heroes, Edwin Land of Polaroid, said about the importance of people who could stand at the intersection of humanities and sciences, and I decided that’s what I wanted to do.”

It's such an honor to collaborate with our state's amazing cultural organizations and provide support that helps them grow! Fairfield Museum and History Center is a stellar example of an organization that has worked diligently for decades to share the area's rich history and culture, educate the public, and strengthen cultural tourism.
