Welcome to the

Connecticut Freedom Trail

An inspiring journey through the history of the struggle for freedom and human dignity!


With over 160 sites across 70 Connecticut towns, we celebrate the resilience and spirit of African American communities and history.

We invite you to use our interactive map to review the various site categories and embark on a journey through time as you explore the Connecticut Freedom Trail. Check out the upcoming events hosted by different sites along the Trail.

Resources for educators can be found on the Educators page. Explore each site to review its array of resources and clearinghouse of information.

Join us on the Connecticut Freedom Trail today, and experience the power of African American history!
