Who We Are
Welcome to the Noah Webster House & West Hartford Historical Society, a museum dedicated to providing unique, hands-on opportunities to connect with history.
Here at the birthplace of Noah Webster, we help students make connections with our past through participatory experiences and access to historical materials. Our dynamic programs are offered both on-site at our National Historic Landmark museum, or in your classroom.
Our programs meet or exceed the new K-12 Connecticut Curriculum Standards, updated in October 2023, in several disciplines, including social studies and language arts. We are happy to help guide your selection process as you determine which program best suits the needs of your students.

FAQs
Chaperones
One chaperone/adult is required per group of 10 students. Therefore, a class of 50 students divided into 5 groups would require five chaperones/adults in total, free of charge. A $5 fee will be charged for any chaperones over the required minimum. The maximum total number of chaperones allowed per school visit is 10.
