On April 19, 2008 the Litchfield Historical Society will unveil its latest exhibition, To Please Any Taste: Litchfield County Furniture and Furniture Makers, 1780-1830. This exhibit will not only focus on identifying style, construction techniques, and regional attributes, but also interpret the furniture as a reflection of the rapid economic and social changes in Litchfield County during the decades from 1780-1830.

The exhibition will include over thirty examples of Litchfield County furniture. In addition to pieces from the Litchfield Historical Society’s collection, furniture from the Yale University Art Museum, Connecticut Historical Society, Harriet Beecher Stowe Center, Hartford Steam Boiler Insurance Co., as well as numerous other institutions and private lenders will be showcased in the exhibition.
