Hartford

Built around a colonial settlement beside the Connecticut River, Hartford grew into Connecticut’s capital and a long-standing center of the insurance industry. The city occupies a broad river valley in central Connecticut, while Bushnell Park and the gold-domed Connecticut State Capitol define its civic core. Mark Twain lived in Hartford from 1874 to 1891; his restored home recalls the years in which he wrote The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. The Wadsworth Atheneum, founded in 1842, anchors downtown with a major American art collection.
