8 Best Trivia Nights in Connecticut
When was the signing of the Declaration of Independence? How many ounces are in a pound? Who was the 26th president of the United States? If you can answer all of these—and many, many more questions from the beginning of time until now—then you might consider trying your luck at one of these weekly trivia nights. (Recommended for those who love trivia and pride themselves on all their random knowledge.)
