"The most impressive instrumentalist I've ever heard." - Johnny Cash

"He has an uncanny ability to breathe new life into the familiar. His storytelling has the richness of fine literature." - Washington Post

"Calling John McCutcheon a folksinger is like saying Deion Sanders is just a football player." - Dallas Morning News

"John McCutcheon is not only one of the best musicians in the USA, but also a great singer, songwriter, and song leader. And not just incidentally, he is committed to helping hard-working people everywhere to organize and push this world in a better direction." - Pete Seeger

A wonderful night in celebration of ordinary people doing extraordinary things in a benefit for the work of the Connecticut Children's Museum.

Children need a place of their own where they can experience the magic of learning at their own pace, a place full of whimsy and wisdom, a space built to their size and specifications.

Early childhood educators need a place to teach and learn with their children, a place where they can find support and inspiration.

Families need a place full of color, joy and community where they can play and learn together.

Through Creating Kids Childcare Center, the Early Childhood Resource Center, educational field trips, and an array of literacy-based projects, the Connecticut Children's Museum is such a place.

The museum serves a diverse group of families welcoming over 240,000 visitors since reopening in 2001. 70% of our 21,000 annual visitors are from New Haven, 20% from surrounding towns with the remaining 10% of our visitors from out-of-state.

We are honored to be an important strand in the tapestry of New Haven, drawing thousands of families with young children to our downtown and serving hundreds of early childhood education programs annually.
