S-WH one of three CT museums to offer "Tricorne Ticket" July 4 to Sept. 2, 2024
American history enthusiasts can visit three historic house sites at reduced admission rates with a new ticket partnership. The 2024 Tricorne Ticket includes the Stanley-Whitman House in Farmington, the Historical Society of Glastonbury, and the Noah Webster House & West Hartford Historical Society. The “Tricorne Ticket” offers 50% off admission at two of the sites with the purchase of a regular admission ticket at full price at either location, or “buy one, get half off the other two.” This “historic” offer is valid between July 4 and Labor Day 2024 during the open hours of each museum.
