Tapping Reeve House and Law School — Attraction in Litchfield

I purchased an evening historical tour for "scary stories about Litchfield of old" last week. I knew it was designed around Halloween but didnt take the PR too seriously. I was actually really shocked that the tour guide spoke exclusively about death & execution over 100 years ago. It was way too gory for me. I thought we would be educated about lots of people, homes, & local history with a few details of horror. The walk was nice,the lanterns great, the cocktails beforehand fabulous, the chatting with others on our tour was pleasant also. Some were cold, but I was dressed appropriately and happy with the cold & dark hour walk. I guess I would like more Historical Tours with informative...

Cool building with lots of history. Was the 1st ever law school in the United States. We went here to check out the scarecrow competition happening around the backside, and found out the museum was free that day. Lots to see and read from the buildings history. There's a self guided tour, or a 15 minute guided tour. The little school House building was my favorite part. Great...

A delight to visit!..The grounds were beautifully maintained!..a brief video introduction and a self- guided tour through the House and Law school. Thoroughly enjoyed the displays, photos and text which were so interesting and informative. This is a must-see historical landmark!! Learned so much..Tappring Reeve and his partner, James Gould were ahead of their time...
