Top 8 Military Museums in Connecticut, United States

November 17, 2021 Mollie Coke

Connecticut is a study in attraction and contrast. In one small state, you’ll find miles of sandy oceanfront shoreline, acres of forested hiking trails, and world-class museums, art and theater. Here family-friendly adventure parks and aquariums are just minutes from dynamic casino resorts and quaint, historic small towns — offering experiences that range from culinary to cultural, luxurious to laid-back. It’s the perfect place to unwind and recharge, all at the same time.

USS Nautilus

I have taken my grandchildren here and they all enjoyed it very much. It is a treasure that not all residents of CT even know of. Great museum and the self-guided tour of the submarine is very worthwhile and informative.

The roof leaked about a year ago and they have been rebuilding the exhibits that were damaged. It should reopen soon. Great people with lots of passion for history. Be sure to check out the military museum inside.
