Underneath that blue dome lies the east armory of a factory once owned by a man who changed American history, the innovator of the revolver, Samuel Colt. Sprawling around the crumbling red brickwork of the old Colt’s Patent Firearms Manufacturing Company, once the largest private armory in the world, are the remnants of Coltsville, the utopian village he built for his workers.

A model of 19th century industrial paternalism, Coltsville included a church, a social hall for dances and lectures, workers’ housing, a giant landscaped park home to deer and peacocks, sculpted botanical gardens, and thousands of feet of greenhouses filled with tropical fruit and flowers. Samuel Colt felt such responsibility for the welfare of his workers outside the factory that he went so far as to build Potsdam Village, to replicate the feel of the German village from which he imported his skilled craftsmen to work in his willow ware factory.

The National Park Service began having on-site presence in 2015, with workshops and tours, including up into the Blue Onion Dome which affords magnificent views of downtown Hartford, the Connecticut River and Colt Park, formerly the back yard of Armsmear, Samuel & Elizabeth Colt’s mansion. By 2016, an NPS ranger had taken up residence in the South Armory and was giving walking tours of Coltsville.

The old South, East and North armories are under renovation and the two 1855 brownstone buildings, the oldest structures on site, will become the National Park Service Visitor Center. The armories themselves have been or are being renovated into apartments, offices and education facilities.

Top Behind the Rocks Hotel Reviews

Motel 6 Wethersfield, CT - Hartford

4/10 Poor

"Hotel has 7.2 rating no idea how. The condition of the buildings and general cleanliness was pretty poor. Probably should be a 4-5 rating"

The Capitol Hotel

8/10 Good

"1) Great location. 2) Great views. 3) Good breakfast with hot options. 4) Reliable WiFi but it requires logging in every 24H, which means it can drop out in the middle of doing something. 5) The printer in the business center did not work (no toner). 6) They often lock the front door to the hotel, which is really annoying and stupid. 7) One front-desk guy is really argumentative and annoying. 8) No housekeeping unless you ask for it before noon. 9) Electronic room keys often do not work and need to be replaced at the front desk, which is annoying."

Best Western Manchester

10/10 Excellent

"I had an excellent day. I had a good time there or I can also recall I was having issues with my TV within 15 minutes. A tech was in there getting me straight. I would definitely come back again. The only issue I have is their gym. I wish they have more equipment in there other than that we was good."
