Tapping Reeve House and Law School

The Tapping Reeve House and Litchfield Law School takes visitors on a journey through the 19th century life of a real student who came to Litchfield for an education at the Litchfield Law School or the Litchfield Female Academy. Through role-playing, hands-on areas, and interpretive exhibits, each visitor explores timeless issues of travel, communication, education, and community. The Litchfield Law School is the Nation’s first law school. Touring the school showcases the evolution of law education and instruction, while exploring how Litchfield became home to such a valuable institution. The museum and law school are open mid-April through November. Admission is FREE for all, sponsored by Ericson Insurance Advisors.
