| Page Views: 117 Last Visit to Hartford: September, 2008 | Capital of the Constitution State by BillNJ - last update: Sep 28, 2008 |
In September 2008, I spent a couple of days exploring the Hartford, Connecticut area. While not known as a popular tourist destination, I was pleasantly surprised. Downtown Hartford is a compact area that is easy to explore by foot. Also, there is a free bus shuttle (Star Shuttle) through the downtown area that makes visiting the major attractions very convenient. |
|  | Insurance and Defense Insurance is Hartford's major industry -- and many of the largest insurance companies have their corporate headquarters here. The Greater Hartford Area is also the home of many companies in the defense industry. |
| | Bushnell Park Within the city of Hartford, there is a lovely park named Bushnell Park. It is an oasis of green within the heart of a busy commercial center. |

The State Capitol looks magnificent...unfortunately, I haven't been to Hartford yet...but would love to walk with the family at the Bushnell Park -- nice green in the middle of the city! Norman :) | MalenaN Mon May 11, 2009 05:35 UTC
Bushnell sounds like a nice place for a walk and if I came to Hatford I would like to go up in the Travellers Tower! | scottishvisitor Wed Mar 11, 2009 23:04 UTC
