CT Revolutionary War Trail and Voices of the Revolutionary War!

CRIS Radio and a team of historians, archivists, museum curators and Central Conn. State University students are making Connecticut’s Revolutionary War history come to life with an accessible smartphone audio tour at a dozen sites in the state.

Those historic sites include Fort Trumbull and Fort Griswold, as well as Coventry, Lebanon, Suffield, Redding, East Granby, and Ridgefield. Graduate students in Central Connecticut State University’s public history program, working with Professor Anthony Martin, conducted research on the state’s most iconic Revolutionary War sites and those sites that are nearly forgotten.

Audio versions of historic documents related to the pivotal role of Connecticut residents 250 years ago in the nation’s fight for independence highlight the roles of prominent military and political leaders as well as those of lesser-known farmers, women, and people of color.
