Long Lost Traces of Hartford's Old Riverfront

- Hartford, Connecticut's riverfront has gone through many changes over the years. Long before the highway came through, the Valley Railroad was built in 1871 through the warehouse district by the river. A number of old warehouses and fish markets, documented in photographs in the 1860s and 1870s, were demolished around this time. I talk about them in this video, as well as a sycamore tree that survived next to the river from Hartford's earliest colonial days, through its great era commercial activity along the river, and into the 1890s.
