Let’s get in a vacation mood and start with one of the most underrated cities in Connecticut.
Yes, that is Hartford. It is located in the North central part of Connecticut or in a simpler way it is near New York with a traveling time of 2 hours, which quite frankly is a lot but also depends on your company.
So, I repeat the first rule of vacation; Never go on trips with anyone you don’t love.
If you are a parent, well, then we might have some bad news and good news. The bad news is that you will never get a vacation from being a parent. So yes, it is a full-time and lifelong career if you think about it.
As for the good news, the first would be that Hartford is the perfect place for going on a vacation as a family or a bachelorette.
So, just sit back and let me present to you all the diggings we have done to make the perfect personalized tour guide for you so that you can have the best time of your life!
Is Hartford Worth visiting?
The short answer would be a big YES.
Hartford, A City Where You Will Leave Your Heart In!
Hartford is the capital of Connecticut and is known for its rich history but that is not the main reason why this place is worth going.
In reality, there are some worth mentioning reasons why this place is an extraordinary place to visit.
Since I have just mentioned that it is the third largest city in Connecticut, I would also like to add that it is also the oldest city with preserved monuments and art.
Indirectly, the city has quite a lot to tell and show from the past, ensuring every tourist and local knows the pride it takes in being rich with art, culture, and history.
While there may be more, so far, the museums in Hartford have more than 50,000 works of art that may date back to 5,000 years ago. The museums also exhibit antique European and American art from the 1600s.
There is still more!
According to many historians, Hartford used to be the site for witch hunting and execution during the early 1600s, and if that isn’t spooky enough, then what if I tell you there are haunted places where tourists, as well locals, are not recommended to go to?
Unless they are brave enough to deal with the eerie voices and shadow figures!
So, whether you are or not brave, that isn’t the debate here, but if you are still looking for answers if this place is worth the visit, then there is a quick answer.
Hartford is more than an ancient city. It is a place perfect for people of all kinds. Whether you are on a family trip or just on a solo trip (or maybe with a date), it has something for everyone.
There are more than enough events that we highly recommend you to, places and tourist attractions that you should add to your list (mentioned below)
And that is not just it. This place has the opportunity for everything and is an employment hub as well as the World’s Capital Of Insurance Companies (there are roughly over a hundred headquarters!) You might just find something!
Whether it’s love, relaxation, new memories, maybe a perfect job, or even better insurance for yourself, then safe to say, it has everything.
But before I get into the details, don’t miss out on the nightlife of the city and yes, if you love football and soccer, you will love this city more than anything!
Also, one more thing. Hartford is a Mark Twain-approved city to live in and also to visit. Before dying, he had recorded saying, “Of all the beautiful towns it has been my fortune to see, this is the chief… You do not know what beauty is if you have not been here.’’
Let’s explore Hartford and all the fun and great things you can do!
1) Mark Twain House And Museum
Here is an odd question, do you think Mark Twain and Charles Dicken met?
The answer is no, but Mark Twain did go to Charles’s public readings at Steinway Hall in New York City on New Year’s Eve in 1868. The more you know. *wink*
Alright, that was not related, but still, an interesting fact to know/ Anyways, on today’s list, we are going to add Mark Twain (his pen name) or Samuel Langhorne Clemens (real name) house-turned-into-museum.
The Mark Twain Museum in Hartford, Connecticut, was the house the famous author and his fairy lived in from 1874 to 1891.
The house was sold in 1903, after the death of Mark’s daughter. The memories that the house contained for the family were too painful, and hence the family sold it to another family.
It was constructed under the supervision of Edward Tuckerman Potter and built in an interesting and different style: the American High Gothic style.
The mansion-like place has a total of 19 rooms with brilliantly colored bricks and designs that capture anyone’s eyes.
Reasons To Go
For all the big fans of Mark Twain’s works, this might be a heaven-made place for you to explore!
Maybe you get an inspiration of your own while you see the desk he wrote at. The house he lived in breathes new life and gives color to his works.
It is worth mentioning that this is the same house where Mark T. had written his most famous books, including “Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” and the “Adventures of Tom Sawyer” and a few others that are quite popular.
So, get the first-hand experience of him writing his stories while you think and explore his family life.
It is safe to say that the Mark Twain House and Museum is a must-see place in Hartford, and with the gift shop nearby, you can save something from the trip as a souvenir!
Anyways,k even if you are not familiar with the local guide, he will surely enlighten you with his famous work, details of his family and his personal life.

It’s the foster home for educating the generations of the future about the past events of Connecticut’s history. It pays tribute to the dying soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the nation.
The museum has documents dating back from the early 19th century which include royal letters, government officials’ orders, and much more documentation.
The museum is also a research centre and a library with more than a thousand books, research works, and academic work for anyone to read.
The museum even holds exhibitions to show all the state, country, and city development journeys.
The main goal is to inspire a lifelong interest in history via books, research projects and exhibitions.

Reasons To Go
Learning history shapes and paints a detailed image of the society of the past and brings out the understanding of why society is the way it is; hence, going to this museum brings out more than just knowledge to the minds.
This museum is worth visiting for a very encyclopedic history of Connecticut.
There are two types of exhibitions, Special exhibitions and Permanent Exhibitions.
Permanent Exhibits:
The permanent exhibit, ‘Making Connecticut’, takes a broad look at Connecticut’s history, including its people, their lives and work, and changes in the world around them.
It also gives a detailed history of Connecticut, starting from the native Quinnetukut settlers, whom Connecticut was named after, to the present.
Special Exhibits:
The special exhibits covered a wide range of topics. These include
- Albert’s Odd Jobs: Making a Living in the 1800s

3) Harriet Beecher Stowe Centre
Harriet Beecher was a popular American novelist. Her most famous work includes Uncle Robin Cabin, a story that deflects the harsh conditions the enslaved Africans had to endure.
A story that was just for the privileges and a book of reality for the victims.
Her residency is situated in Hartford and has become a great tourist attraction. People all over the world swoon through her place where she once wrote the mentioned book.
Harriet Beecher had lived in that house from 1873 till her last breath in 1896.
Right now, Harriet Beecher’s residency has turned into a Museum. This allows her to live for eternity and gives people around the world a chance to meet and greet the lady of wonder.
At this Museum, you will find more than just her furniture and a two-story, 5000-square area with a gothic style of architecture,
It’s a residency where the author had lived her life to fight against social injustice during the mid-1800s for the African people.
Although in the eyes of her ‘’fellow white people’’ was seen as less threatening, in reality, she made history through her books.
It’s a house that inspires action.
Reasons To Go
For once, think about the enslaved African immigrants, who were treated badly due to the color of their skin. So, visiting the author’s residency is like paying tribute to her actions and her willpower to fight against injustice.
Moreover, you will learn more about Harriet Beecher’s lifestyle and how she lived her years in the house.
There are even letters, books, and many of her things, including letters and documents written by Harriet Beecher and many other objects that her family donated.
Through this, you can get a complete insight into the author.
There is a carriage house that serves as the visitors center and a research library in the museum, which you cannot miss out on!
Also, if you are a parent, one advantage is that kids under 16 (accompanied by one adult) can enter free.
So, I guess you and your kid get in for free!
Last but not least, the Harriet Beecher Stowe Centre is adjacent to the Mark Twain House and Museum. This means that you are reachable to places without much traveling, and you get to experience two iconic authors!

Some of the pieces may be something you had studied in your class, so it can be nostalgic for some who visited.
The gift shop is also one of the reasons why people usually visit, but with such a big area and more than 50,000 works of art to be explored, surely a day will not be enough while you observe the details.
Also, the fact that it has quite an affordable fee makes it one of the greatest reasons why tourists usually go there.
But some have modest reasons, like maybe taking their date to the museum just to sound intellectual.
But whatever brings you to Wadsworth Atheneum Museum, you will surely come again because one day in this palace is never enough.

5) Elizabeth Park
Elizabeth Park is currently a public park located in Hartford. It covers an area of 102 acres (41 ha).
The site was previously owned by Charles M. Pond, who was the financier of New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad, and Hartford National Bank. He was also the treasurer of Connecticut during 1870–71.
In 1894 he passed on his estate to the City of Hartford with the demand that the park would be named for his deceased wife, Elizabeth.
However, the city took possession in 1897 and engaged the famed Olmsted and Son for landscaping.
In 1904 the park’s first administrator, Theodore Wirth, created its renowned Rose Garden, which covers an area of 2.5 acres ( 1.0 ha).
Elizabeth Park is one of the oldest municipal rose gardens in the United States.
There are more than 10,000 bushes of 800 rose varieties in the magnificent land. In addition to that, it is also registered on the National Register of Historic Places.
Elizabeth has been through a lot, but the biggest tragedy of the park came in the 1970s when the city decided it could no longer afford the garden. and initially proposed plowing it under.
This was until the volunteers came to the rescue. In 1977 volunteers banded together with Vic Jarm (Park Superintendent at the time) to form the Friends of Elizabeth Park and save the Rose Garden.
