It’s a modern gathering rooted in the place where America first learned to write itself into existence.<\/p>\n Did you know that General George Washington and Alexander Hamilton stood on the grounds of Connecticut\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n Connecticut\u2019s Old State House stands as a testament to the rich tapestry of our state\u2019s democratic evolution, having housed all three branches of Connecticut\u2019s government from 1796 to 1878.<\/p>\n This historic site has borne witness to some of the most pivotal narratives of freedom, democracy, and civic engagement in our state\u2019s 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!<\/p>\n Come for a tour and see Gilbert Stuart\u2019s famous portrait of our nation\u2019s first president. Visit the historic House and Senate chambers and see the office of Connecticut\u2019s current Kid Governor and cabinet. Check out an interactive exhibit in the Mortensen Gallery and the portraits and odd collection housed in Joseph Steward\u2019s Museum of Curiosities.<\/p>\n Connecticut\u2019s Old State house is located just steps away from restaurants, entertainment and shopping.<\/p>\n PARKING: Our Doors Are Open: Connecticut\u2019s Old State House is pleased to participate in LONG WEEKEND, a city-wide festival where the City of Hartford takes center stage.
