History
In 1643, Hartford was required to establish a "weekly market" at the site of the Old State House. Today, we continue this tradition by hosting the Old State House Farmers Market. The goal of the Old State House Farmers Market is to offer a variety of products from as many farmers and artisan vendors as possible within the available space. We are committed to offering a vibrant marketplace in downtown Hartford where local farmers and artisans can enjoy coming together with the community to share the "best" of what Connecticut has to offer!

Location
The Old State House Farmers Market is located on the brick plaza within the wrought iron fence surrounding the Old State House. The market plaza is bordered by Main Street to the west, Central Row to the south, and State House Square to the north. We are conveniently located on the city bus route and are within a few blocks of free DASH shuttle service stops.

Safety
Due to COVID-19, Farmers Market staff will be taking precautions again for 2021. Masks are required to enter and shop the Farmers Market. Hand sanitizer will be available at the entrance. Please follow social distancing rules and one-way foot traffic through the Farmers Market.
