Episode 4: Small but Mighty: The people's Collection


Listen to Episode 4<https://underthecharteroak.buzzsprout.com/2522563/episodes/18246310-small-but-mighty-the-people-s-collection>


Ashley, Kym, and Matt are joined by Jennifer Matos, the Administrator at the Museum of Connecticut History at the Connecticut State Library. We learn about the history and mission of the museum, get highlights about various collections and artifacts, and finally learn the (true?) story of the Charter Oak. There was a heist! Oh and the Nutmeg, the seed that gave our beloved state one of its nicknames, may be based on a lie. Dun dun dun.
