Pictures from Center Church, Hartford, CT

The Center Church congregation can trace it's history back to Thomas Hooker and the other founders of Hartford, CT back in 1633.  In addition to the church is Hartford "ancient burying ground" which is accessible to the public.  http://www.centerchurchhartford.org/

Several ancesters were founders and early inhabitants of the greater Hartford area including Thomas Lord and Robert Day.  Here are there tombstones, as well as a memorial obelisk celebrating the founders.  The grveyard is adjacent to the Center Church which you can see in the last picture.
