Best Hartford Tours & Trips

The capital of Connecticut is a historic U.S. city with lots of culture. Founded 400 years ago, it is one of the oldest cities in the United States and a place of firsts. It’s home to the country’s first public park (Bushnell Park) and first public art museum (Wadsworth Atheneum). The first FM radio station also broadcast from here, and it’s where Teddy Roosevelt took his first automobile ride. Visit the homes of Mark Twain and Harriet Beecher Stowe, see the Old State House from 1796, and ride the historic carousel in Bushnell Park. For even more history, visit the Ancient Burial Ground where the founders rest.
