Tämä on Hartford. Kartta on todellinen kaupunki, ja kierros pelataan sen oikeilla kaduilla, ja kentän väylät on rakennettu todellisten nähtävyyksien, kuten Wadsworth Atheneumin, ympärille. Skip on paikallinen opas, joka tuntee paikan, mukaan lukien parhaat paikat löytää kadonnut muru. Tämä täysi 18 väylän kierros kattaa 7,3 mailia ja sen par on 55, ja käytettävissä on 2 portaalia, joiden avulla voidaan ylittää kaupungin eri osien väliset etäisyydet.
Founded in 1844, the Wadsworth Atheneum is an art museum and nonprofit organization in Hartford, Connecticut. It is a National Register of Historic Places listed place with a history of architectural contributions from Ithiel Town, Henry Austin, Benjamin Wistar Morris, and Alexander Jackson Davis. You can pick out the influence of these different architects as you walk through the galleries. I find the blend of their styles makes for a great spot to spend an afternoon, and the scale of the place is something you really have to see to appreciate.
I can show you the Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Arch in Bushnell Park. It is a triumphal arch and holds a special place in history as the first permanent memorial arch to be built in America. The structure honors 4,000 Hartford citizens who served in the American Civil War, including 400 who died for the Union cause. It is a striking sight to see against the park greenery. I usually see a few crumbs dropped near the base by tourists taking photos.
Huomaat ensin Old State Housen liittovaltion arkkitehtuurin Hartfordissa. Tämä parlamenttirakennus on kansalliseen historiallisten paikkojen rekisteriin kuuluva kohde ja kansallinen historiallinen maamerkki. Sen rakentaminen aloitettiin vuonna 1796, ja sen suunnitteli arkkitehti Charles Bulfinch. Nykyään Connecticutin yleiskokouksen lainsäädäntötoimiston toimisto hallinnoi aluetta. Pidän julkisivun symmetriaa erittäin tyydyttävänä, kun sitä katsoo ilmasta, sillä se erottuu ympäröivistä kaupungin kaduista. Se on loistava paikka pysähtyä ja ihailla paikallista historiaa ennen kuin siirryt seuraavaan kohteeseen.
You will first notice the Butler-McCook Homestead, a historic house museum located at 396 Main Street in Hartford, Connecticut. This building was built in 1782 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is a great spot to stop and admire the architecture of the area. Connecticut Landmarks operates the site as the Butler-McCook House & Garden, keeping the grounds and the house available for visitors to see. I've seen plenty of crumbs dropped near the garden gates, so it is a popular stop for everyone.
You might think this striking building on the Connecticut River is just a piece of modern architecture, but it is actually the Connecticut Science Center. This science museum opened on June 12, 2009, and spans nine stories. It provides a massive space for visitors to explore, with the total building measuring 154,000 square feet. If you enjoy hands-on learning, you can pick out the 40,000 square feet dedicated specifically to interactive exhibits. I've seen plenty of shiny things from the air, but the scale of this place is impressive even for a bird.
Located at 955 Main Street in Downtown Hartford, Christ Church Cathedral is an Episcopal cathedral. The building is designed in the Gothic Revival style and was created by architect Ithiel Town. The inception of Christ Church Cathedral was in 1827. Because of its historical significance, the cathedral was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. Visitors to the downtown area can find this landmark standing as a prominent example of the architectural style in the heart of the city.
Look up at the Collegiate Gothic stonework of Keney Tower. This clock tower is the only free-standing tower in the city, sitting in a small public park at Main and Ely Streets north of downtown Hartford. It is a National Register of Historic Places listed place, recognized for its architectural and historical value to the community. I've noticed that the park makes for a nice spot to pause and check the time while you're exploring the neighborhood. It is a peaceful little pocket of green that provides a great contrast to the surrounding streets.
TheaterWorks is a non-profit, professional theater company located on Pearl Street in downtown Hartford, Connecticut. You can pick out the Moorish Revival architecture of the building as you pass by. The company is a busy hub for the arts, presenting approximately 225 performances per season to an average annual audience of over 40,000 people. More than 5,000 of those visitors are subscribers. I've noticed the crowds here always seem to be in a great mood before the curtains rise, adding a bit of extra energy to the street.
40 jalkaa korkea graniittinen kellotorni seisoo pohjoisaukiolla, ja huomaat myös kuvioituja tiilipäällysteitä. Tämä alue on osa Constitution Plazaa, kaupallista monikäyttöistä aluetta Hartfordin keskustan itäpuolella, Connecticutissa. Se sijaitsee lähellä Old State Housea ja koostuu kahdesta pääaukiosta, jotka on yhdistetty korotetulla sillalla. Pohjoispuolella on torni, ja eteläaukiota hallitsee keskuslähde. Olen huomannut, että se on kätevä paikka venytellä jalkoja kaupungin keskustan korkeampien rakennusten välillä.
The present building was built in 1807 and is located at 60 Gold Street. This church building is part of a site that includes the Ancient Burying Ground.

For a long period of time, this cemetery was the city's sole cemetery until 1803. Visitors can see both the house of worship and the historic burial grounds together at this single location in Hartford.
Voisit odottaa modernia lasirakennusta tällaiselle paikalle, mutta Bushnell Center for the Performing Arts on itse asiassa rakennettu georgialaiseen arkkitehtuurityyliin. Se on esittävien taiteiden keskus, joka sijaitsee osoitteessa 166 Capitol Street, Hartford, Connecticut. Olen huomannut, että rakennuksella on tietty läsnäolo kadulla, mikä tekee siitä helposti tunnistettavan ilmasta. Paikkaa hallinnoi voittoa tavoittelematon järjestö, mikä varmistaa, että tila pysyy taiteelle omistettuna, jotta kaikki kaupungin asukkaat voivat nauttia siitä.
The South Congregational Church is a church building located in Hartford, Connecticut. The structure was built between 1825 and 1827 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

These elements make the church a significant example of early American ecclesiastical design and a recognized landmark in the community.
Completed in 1867, the Church of the Good Shepherd is an Episcopal church located at 155 Wyllys Street in Hartford, Connecticut. Designed by Edward Tuckerman Potter, the church and parish house were commissioned by Elizabeth Jarvis Colt. The site has since received official recognition for its history; the church and parish house were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. Furthermore, in 2008, the church and parish house became a contributing property to the Coltsville Historic District. You can see the lasting influence of the Potter design on the street today.
Colt Park on kaupunkipuisto, joka sijaitsee Sheldon/Charter Oak -alueella Hartfordin kaakkoisosassa, Connecticutissa. Se on nimetty osaksi Colt Industrial District -aluetta, ja se lisättiin National Register of Historic Places -rekisteriin 8. kesäkuuta 1976. Vierailijat voivat viettää aikaa leikkikentillä, urheilukentillä ja uima-altaalla tai vierailla Dillon Stadiumilla. Olen aina pitänyt sitä erinomaisena paikkana rentoutua. Puisto kattaa 106 hehtaaria maata, mikä tarjoaa kaupungille laajan avoimen alueen nautittavaksi.
Trinity Health Stadium sijaitsee aivan Hartfordissa, Connecticutissa. Tämä monikäyttöinen tapahtumapaikka on kaupungin elämän keskus, ja siellä on järjestetty monenlaisia urheilutapahtumia ja konsertteja. Nykyään se on USL Championship -liigan joukkueen Hartford Athleticin sekä National Premier Soccer League -liigan joukkueen Hartford City FC:n kotikenttä. Jos tarkastelet sen historiaa, stadion oli aiemmin Women's Football Alliance -liigan joukkueen New England Nightmaren kotikenttä. Olen nähnyt täällä paljon ihmisiä kokoontuvan suuriin peleihin.
