In 1868, Mark Twain exclaimed:
"Of all the beautiful towns it has been my fortune to see, Hartford is
the chief".
Hartford has begun to attract
new development, especially downtown, after years of relative stagnation.
The Connecticut Convention Center was opened in 2005, and the Connecticut
Science Center followed in 2009. In the 1960s, the construction of Interstate
91 effectively separated the city from the Connecticut River; ambitious
landscaping projects are attempting to rejoin the riverfront to downtown.
