Both adults and children can sit in the courtroom and view their state’s
history, from the beautiful state oak tree panels that cover the walls, to
the two famous murals entitled "The Allegory of
Education" and "The
Fundamental Orders, 1638-1639," which grace the wall and the ceiling.
Students may gaze up at the portraits of retired Chief Justices, and
sometimes one lucky individual will play the role of court marshal for the
day! Whether young or old, individuals can understand the importance of this
courtroom - and how it differs from the Superior and
Appellate courthouses in Connecticut.
