    I grew up about 2 blocks uphill from Bushnell Park and went to high school next door to the Mark Twain House

      It’s interesting to see Hartford through the eyes of others. Seems like a much different city than the one I’ve known. A lot of history there that I didn’t think to look into until decades after I moved away.

      @@scottman895 I’m a huge history fanatic, especially the industrial revolution period. If you get a chance I highly recommend Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. The mark Carnegie and Frick left there still lingers.

    Enjoyed this video very much since I’ve never been to Hartford before and only saw it in passing on my way to other places. I really want to visit the Mark Twain house and Harriet Beecher Stowe’s home, also, although I’m not fond of city driving . Was it difficult to drive to those homes and was parking there easy to find ? Anyway, thanks for exploring a new city that I’ve never been to before and thanks for the cool video !

      I'm glad you enjoyed it! I didn't get to go inside either home, but I really want to check them out on a future visit. Hartford was not that difficult to drive in. It felt calmer compared to cities like Boston, Houston, or Washington, DC. The parking for the Mark Twain house has plenty of spots, and the parking is free too for it. Thanks for watching!

    I live in a suburb of Bridgeport CT, but have been to Hartford many times! This, and not Bridgeport should be CT’s biggest city. They should fix up the hoody areas.
