Updated for 2026! Join an easy 1.5-mile walking tour on the sidewalks of Hartford’s historic Main Street from the Butler-McCook House & Garden to the G. Fox Building exploring this city’s colonial roots and more! This walk includes some of the Washington-Rochambeau Revolutionary Route.
This program is offered FREE as part of Connecticut Trails Day. The first weekend of June, trail lovers across Connecticut head outside to hike, play, ride, explore, climb, run, and paddle.
Advance registration is required. This program is part of our Historic Hartford Walking Tours series, where we forge new paths through Hartford’s history! Register for additional walks here.
Please wear comfortable walking shoes and dress for the weather, as this program will take place outdoors. In case of cancellation due to severe weather, registrants will be notified at the email address on file.
If you have any questions, contact Assistant Site Administrator Jana Colacino at [email protected].
