Step inside historic homes and see and learn about many more as we tour Prospect Avenue! A broad street of grand homes, the east side lies within the Hartford city limits, across the street is West Hartford—in the late 19th century and into the 20th, the well-to-do built their fashionable homes on both sides. Situated along a high ridge, it was named for the panoramic view of the city and Connecticut River that could be enjoyed from the avenue. Today, Prospect Avenue remains graced with these historic homes, reflecting the prosperity of Hartford’s Gilded Age.
This is a guided walking “happy hour” tour, no libations but a lot of fun packed into 60 minutes! We will meet near Prospect Avenue, location details coming soon. https://histoury.org/historical-tour-calendar-and-tickets/
