Hartford Travel Planner

“Well, That Will Do for Hartford.”

by Jacques Lamarre, Communications Director (and nearly 20-year Hartford resident) |



When Mark Twain first visited Hartford in 1868, it was love at first sight. He made the city his home for two decades. We hope you will fall in love with Hartford, too, when you add The Mark Twain House & Museum to your travel plans or vacation itinerary.

Located 20 minutes from Bradley International Airport, 90 minutes from Boston, two hours from New York and less than an hour from Interstate 95, Hartford is convenient and a destination unto itself. There are many things to do and see, so we hope you will linger and enjoy all that we have to offer.
