Hello all,
9/3/23 - Update - I can't believe I had to reschedule this event again. I will be in Florida at the celebration of life for my brother in law who recently passed away. I have rescheduled this event to Oct 7th. I'm hoping this will work out this time. Thank you all for your understanding.

Do you love local lore, history? Do you love hearing stories about Heroes and prominent figures that weren't quite what you learned in school?
Then come join me for my awesome (even if I do say so myself) Hartford Historic Walking Tour.
If the river allows, we start at Riverside park in Hartford and walk through Hartford to the CT State Library stopping along the way at various points of interest.
Find out why The Hartford Current felt the need to talk about ' Loose woman on the roof or fallen woman on the Street, or what Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde has to do with dentistry, or how one of our great esteemed prominent figures was a polygamist. Why there are dead people in a historic landmark? Learn how Hartford is instrumental to the start of our nation.
Ohh baby, Hartford has it all!!
Everytime people attend this event, I often hear 'I didn't know that!' Sometimes they are shocked and sometimes wonder filled but it's always fun.
The walk is 4.4 miles in total in a very very leisurely pace, that is because I am the slowest walker pretty much in the world. There are no stairs except at the Amphitheater, which has an elevator, so if you are with a scooter or wheelchair or otherwise stairs impaired, you can participate in this event as well. There will be many stops along the way to sit and rest.
Bring a bag lunch, water bottle, wear walking shoes. Please dress for the weather.
Parking at Riverside Park is free.
If people are up for it, we can go someplace afterwards to eat an early dinner.
**Please note, It's unlikely for this date, but if Riverside park is flooded, we will have to change the meetup location so it is important to watch the meetup comments as we get closer to the day of the event.
If some of you want to make the walk a 2.2 mile walk then there is a way to spot cars. I will set up a pre-event for car spotters if you tell me when you RSVP that's what you want to do.
I look forward to hosting you on this event.
Tips will be gratefully accepted.
Any additional questions, please contact me at Lftrtravel@gmail.com.
Thanks,
Margaret
