Tour of the Katherine Hepburn Museum

About the Museum

The official Katharine Hepburn Museum is the only museum of its kind dedicated to the famed actress, Connecticut native and Old Saybrook resident. It offers an authentic view of the cultural and historical impact of Miss Hepburn and her family through letters, photos, home movies, costumes, personal wardrobe items, and other memorabilia.

In addition to the permanent collection, the museum features rotating special exhibits and hosts lectures, workshops, Kate Classic film screenings, and other programs.

A cultural icon and a game-changer, Hepburn’s remarkably long life and career spanned most of the 20th century, offering a unique insight into our recent past. Progressive in her views and iconoclastic in her behavior, it is quite easy to find points of intersection between Kate’s life and pivotal moments in American culture over the decades of the 1900s that have shaped the world we experience today.

After the tour we could take a ride by to see where her home is located in Old Saybrook.

Asking a $ 10 dollar donation for this tour.
