As many historians will tell you, freedom isn't free. Our country's freedom came at the cost of the efforts and the lives of people who were vigilant in their pursuit for the American Way. Learn about who they were, what they did and how their actions still resonate today when you take a tour of the State Historic Preservation Office. This museum-style facility pays tribute to the brave men and women who pursued freedom at any cost. You will also learn about the Underground Railroad as well as the various laws that were enacted to further the cause of freedom.

Art that stays within expectations is alright, but that's not what you'll find at Hartford's Matrix Gallery. This is artwork that will challenge you and maybe even elicit feelings that bring about a new way of thinking. This gallery is located in the Wadsworth Atheneum and has attracted an impressive level of attention for its activist exhibitions and attractions that feature non-traditional media and themes that are meant to make the viewer just a little uncomfortable–but in a good way.

The sheer scope of talented actors living in Hartford is nothing less than amazing. These artists with a theatrical flair have consistently contributed their talents to the productions put on by the Hartford Stage, the city's local theater company. The group presents six major shows and one to two summer productions every year, so there are plenty of opportunities to see some exciting local theater entertainment. And, their artistic range is just as impressive as their talent, as the group skillfully presents everything from the offbeat to the classic.
