Historic Landmark Treasures of Northern Main Street, Hartford CT

This video is about historic landmarks along Main Street in Hartford, north of the intersection with Albany Avenue up to the border with the Town of Windsor. The landmarks include the Fuller Brush Factory (currently undergoing redevelopment), the second oldest house in the city, another house that's been called "The Mark Twain House of the North End," historic cemeteries and several Black churches with long histories in the city. Many of the buildings played an important role in the city's Jewish history.
