Old State House

The Old State House at Hartford is the home of 360-degree democracy. What does that mean? Simple: the past shapes the future. At Connecticut’s Old State House, the very spot where Connecticut’s democracy was born, you’ll learn about how it was born and who made it happen. You’ll meet people who went from ordinary to history-making by standing up for what they believed: and maybe think about where you fit in to “government by the people” yourself.
