About
Produced by the Connecticut Humanities Council, Imaging Connecticut is on display daily from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm in the underground walkway connecting the Capitol and the Legislative Office Building. An eight- minute orientation video to the exhibit may be viewed at History On Demand, an interactive video station also created by the Connecticut Humanities Council, which offers interpretive programs on major themes and personalities in the state's past. The station is located within the An Orderly and Decent Government exhibit just off the atrium of the Legislative Office Building. |

| While
at the Capitol, visitors interested in a more comprehensive presentation
of Connecticut's rich past certainly should devote a moment or two
to An Orderly and Decent Government. The Connecticut Humanities Council
developed this permanent exhibition on the history of representative
government in Connecticut in April 2000.
An Orderly and Decent Government is on display in the Legislative Office Building, Capitol Avenue, Hartford, weekdays between the hours of 9:00 am and 5:00 pm Public parking is available in the adjacent Legislative Office Building garage. The State Capitol itself is filled with historical and architectural treasures well worth seeing. The League of Women Voters offers tours for both school groups and adults focusing on the history of the building and the legislative process. Free one-hour guided tours leave from the League of Women Voters Information Desk, first floor, west entrance of the Legislative Office Building daily at 9:15 am, 10:15 am, 11:15 am, 12:15 pm and 1:15 pm Advance reservations are necessary for groups.
