The Lockwood-Mathews Mansion Museum (LMMM), located at 295 West Ave. in Norwalk, was recently awarded a grant in the amount of $20,320 from Connecticut Humanities to support its participation in the Connecticut Summer at the Museum initiative.
The program invites Connecticut children ages 18 and under plus one accompanying Connecticut resident adult to visit participating museums free of charge from now through Sept. 5. Funding for the initiative is provided by the Connecticut General Assembly, with the support of Connecticut Humanities and the Department of Economic and Community Development, Office of the Arts, which also receives support from the federal American Rescue Plan.
“The LMMM Board of Trustees and I are very grateful to Governor Lamont, our Connecticut Legislature, Humanities and the Connecticut Office of the Arts for this very generous grant,” said LMMM Executive Director Susan Gilgore. “We look forward to bringing families together to explore this treasured state and national landmark, while increasing the overall well-being of our communities.”
