It’s a modern gathering rooted in the place where America first learned to write itself into existence. \nDid you know that General George Washington and Alexander Hamilton stood on the grounds of Connecticut’s Old State House in September of1780 to meet with French General Jean-Baptiste de Rochambeau and the Marquis de Lafayette? This meeting marked the start of an alliance that led to American independence and ended the Revolutionary War. \nConnecticut’s Old State House stands as a testament to the rich tapestry of our state’s democratic evolution\, having housed all three branches of Connecticut’s government from 1796 to 1878. \nThis historic site has borne witness to some of the most pivotal narratives of freedom\, democracy\, and civic engagement in our state’s history\, including the landmark Amistad and Prudence Crandall trials\, as well as the Constitutional Convention of 1818. Each of these events not only shaped the legal and social framework of Connecticut but also ignited a spirit of civic responsibility that resonates to this day! \nCome for a tour and see Gilbert Stuart’s famous portrait of our nation’s first president. Visit the historic House and Senate chambers and see the office of Connecticut’s current Kid Governor and cabinet. Check out an interactive exhibit in the Mortensen Gallery and the portraits and odd collection housed in Joseph Steward’s Museum of Curiosities. \nConnecticut’s Old State house is located just steps away from restaurants\, entertainment and shopping. \nPARKING:\nParking at State House Square Parking Garage\, located at 75 Market Street\, costs a maximum of $10 with validation from Connecticut’s Old State House.
