Voici Hartford. La carte représente la ville réelle et le parcours se déroule dans ses rues, avec des trous aménagés à partir de sites touristiques réels, comme le Wadsworth Atheneum.

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.
Vous remarquerez d'abord le style architectural fédéral de l'Old State House à Hartford. Ce bâtiment parlementaire est un lieu inscrit au registre national des lieux historiques et un monument historique national.

Je trouve que la symétrie de la façade est très agréable à regarder depuis le ciel, car elle se démarque des rues environnantes. C'est un endroit idéal pour s'arrêter et apprécier l'histoire locale avant de passer à votre prochain trou.
