In 1636 the Plantations of Hartford, Windsor and Wethersfield united to form the Colony of Connecticut. Without a Charter from the King of England or even a definite land patent, these pioneers established a government under the first written constitution in human history!
They created a unique experiment in democracy that lasted for five generations and influenced the formation of the American Republic in a profound way that is little known or understood!
The Institute of Connecticut History was formed to Restore the Truth in History. Enjoy surprising insights as we explore the disappearing traces of Connecticut’s most precious heritage!

which is the life and mainspring of American liberty."
