Hartford is the capital of Connecticut and one of the oldest cities in New England. It is home to the oldest American public art museum - the Wadsworth Athenaeum, and Bushnell Park - the oldest public park in the country, and the Hartford Courant, the oldest nation's continually published newspaper. It is a modern city seeped in history, with great restaurants and wonderfully diverse neighborhoods. The North Meadows, just north of downtown, is the home of the Xfinity Theatre, the popular Riverside Park and Riverside Cricket Club. Hartford is also home to the Hartford Stage, a renowned modern theatre, and the XL Center , where you can catch a Hartford Wolf Pack hockey game.
