Connecticut History Day Regional Competition – Mansfield

Students from Mansfield area schools will come together to compete in the 2026 Connecticut History Day Mansfield Regional Contest. The Mansfield event is one of five Regional Contests hosted by The Connecticut Democracy Center this spring. Participating students have chosen a topic related to the 2026 theme of Revolution, Reaction, Reform in History and have since conducted research and interviewed experts to shape their findings into sound historical arguments. Working alone or in groups, students will present their projects in one of five categories – exhibits, documentaries, websites, papers, or performances – in hopes of advancing to the State Contest on May 2 at Central Connecticut State University. Students who finish in first or second place at the State Contest will be invited to the 2026 National History Day® Competition.
