5 MORE Interesting Things About the 1877 Bird's Eye View of Hartford, CT

This is my second video about the 1877 Bird’s Eye View of Hartford. I talk about 5 interesting things: 1) the State Arsenal that was located at Main & Pavilion Streets from 1818 to 1909; 2) the original Union Station that stood from 1843 to 1886; 3) the lost Lord’s Hill, or Garden Street, Reservoir; 4) the stalled development of Hartford’s West End in the 1870s; and 5) the Charter Oak Park harness racing track. #Hartford #HartfordCT #trainstations The 1877 Bird's-Eye View of Hartford at the Library of Congress: https://www.loc.gov/resource/g3784h.p...
