Tapping Reeve House & Law School takes visitors on a journey through the life of a real student from the early 19th century. Through role-playing, hands-on areas, and interpretive exhibits, each visitor explores timeless issues of travel, communication, education, and community.

Visitors meet the students as they watch the introductory video Coming to Litchfield. They discover the students' stories as they try on clothes that a student might have worn, make decisions about what supplies to buy, and vote on issues of the day.
