The first thing that will strike you about the Old State House is its impressive architecture and colonial design. That regal air remains when you step inside, and a wealth of historical information awaits you when you take one of the popular tours of the building. This is where the Amistad Trials took place, and the building itself holds a bit of an unsettling history as it is situated on the site of the country's first witch hanging. Learn more about that and many other interesting and pivotal events from your tour guide as well as from the many exhibits and multimedia presentations that dramatically convey some of Hartford's most significant historical events.

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.
