What is Connecticut History Day?
An affiliate program of National History Day, Connecticut History Day (CHD) is a Connecticut Democracy Center program in residence at Connecticut’s Old State House. CHD annually engages thousands of middle- and high-school students in historical research, interpretation, and creative expression through project-based learning. Support has been provided to CTDC through a CT Cultural Fund Grant from CT Humanities (CTH), with funding provided by the Connecticut State Department of Economic and Community Development/Connecticut Office of the Arts (COA) from the Connecticut State Legislature. CHD is presented with support through a grant from the Upper Housatonic Valley National Heritage Area. Program support is also received from the New Haven Museum and the Franklin Foundation.
