Hartford History

Adriaen's Landing


Adriaen's Landing, the combination of convention center, stores, and apartments undergoing construction along the Connecticut River, is history in the making for Hartford. Sucessful or not, it will change the landscape of downtown on a scale that hasn't been seen since the construction of the Civic Center in the mid-1970s and Constitution Plaza in the early 1960s. The project's name also honors the first European visitors to what would eventually become Hartford.
