Description

What do a magic well, an early American newspaper, and an industrial center from which sprang sewing machines, bicycles, and automobiles have in common? They all came from Frog Hollow, a 17-acre neighborhood in south-central Hartford that has been the home of abundant farming, a manufacturing center of New England, a hotbed of workers' rights (including Sunday baseball), and a rising Puerto Rican political community. Take a stroll through this vibrant neighborhood, a part of a quintessential New England factory town that boasted speakeasies, child newspaper sellers who once went on strike, and a neighborhood community center from which the Puerto Ricans of Hartford have built their political power in 40 short years. Attendees will take the DASH bus to Frog Hollow and tour the neighborhood on foot.
