About Us
Taking a ride down the Hog River
Welcome to Connecticut Explored
We're the magazine of Connecticut history, celebrating our 10th anniversary in 2012.
In our pages, we discuss and debate: "What happened here?" Through compelling stories and intriguing images, Connecticut Explored explores the state's cultural heritage with the aim of revealing connections between our past, present, and future.
We began publication in Fall 2002 as Hog River Journal, Hartford and the region's magazine of history, culture, and the arts. We went statewide in 2006 and changed our name to reflect that three years later in 2009.
Our ultimate goal is to gain a greater sense of what makes Connecticut unique. This is a publication that covers the depth and breadth of our state's history in articles of high quality but with a dash of irreverence that make for lively reading and wide appeal.
Plowing Tobacco
Above all, Connecticut Explored is a meeting place in print -- a place where readers encounter the fascinating, and often untold, stories of our state's people, places, and events.
We'd like to hear from you. With your input, this publication will truly reflect the interests of the community. We know there are many fans of local history out there and this is a magazine for you and by you. Please suggest story ideas and writers.
And do subscribe. Be a part of an important effort to raise awareness of our state's rich cultural heritage.
