Hartford, the capital of Connecticut, is the fourth largest Connecticut City and home to the nation’s oldest public art museum, the oldest public park, and the birthplace of the Boys and Girls Club.

The City is proud of its innovative iQuilt project, a culture based urban design plan for Downtown Hartford-a compact historic district with more than 45 cultural assets and destinations (including the Library)-accessible through a pedestrian network. Its centerpiece is the GreenWalk, a one mile chain of parks and plazas connecting the Capitol to the Connecticut River waterfront. The City’s goals include a more walkable, sustainable and welcoming downtown, an improved cultural network, and a stronger economy and workforce. Hartford is a city of neighborhoods and housing choices range from a loft to a Victorian home to a starter home. For additional information on the Library and the City, see Hartford Has It!
