New England is a treasure house filled with many different types of spiritual, cultural, historical, and other resources. Included in this treasure trove is a rich mixture of places steeped in history - the history of this region, the history of the nation.
One such place is Connecticut's Old State House, which is located at 800 Main Street in Hartford. This structure was built to replace the original State House, which was built in 1720 and burned in 1783. Construction of a structure to replace the original one was begun in 1793 and completed in 1796. The site contains the restored, original Senate chamber and a Gilbert Stuart portrait of George Washington.
