The Nutmeg Pulpit is a permanent exhibition launched in September 2022 commemorating the historic site of Talcott Street Church.

Located next to Capital Community College from 1826-1954, Talcott Street Church was Hartford’s first Black church and school for Black children.

In collaboration with nearby museums, the larger Black Heritage Project develops three components under the theme of empowering students through the history of the Talcott Street Church and School: Black Heritage Curriculum Development, the Nutmeg Pulpit permanent exhibition, and an annual public lecture called The Pennington Lecture.
