Coltsville Self-Guided Tours
Coltsville National Historical Park
Explore the sites and history of Coltsville National Historical Park through a self-guided walking tour.
Welcome to Coltsville National Historical Park! While we are not yet an established park, we encouraged you to get out and explore the sites in this historic location. Using the Coltsville NHP App, explore this industrial city on a self-guided walking tour, visiting at eleven different sites all while learning about Samuel Colt and Elizabeth Hart Jarvis Colt. As you walk this historic district, take a moment to reflect upon the ingenuity of a man and how Samuel and Elizabeth changed the landscape and history of Hartford and the United States. Many of these locations are now private residences and are not open to the public, therefore please be respectful of the current residents while walking the grounds of Coltsville.
