How has the presence of tobacco in the Connecticut River Valley shaped this region's history? Beginning 2,500 years ago and continuing through the present, our permanent timeline exhibit provides cultural, historical, and geographical context to help answer this question.
Learn more about the unique tobacco heritage of the Connecticut River Valley by taking a self-guided tour of the new timeline exhibit, located in the Archive Building. Listen to personal stories told by former tobacco workers, explore the Native origins of the tobacco plant in New England, catch a few moments of the Warner Brothers film Parrish, or do all the above! The choice is yours.
If you would like to visit us for a tour or to conduct research, contact us and special arrangements can be made. We support those seeking more knowledge on the rich heritage of tobacco farming.
