There is always
something to do and see in Geneva County. Hartford is proud of its
Hometown Holiday Festival, a time of entertainment and the display of
arts and crafts.
Hartford was incorporated in 1896, and the railroad arrived in 1900,
which helped the town become known for its pine timber and turpentine
industries. The first major cash crop was cotton, followed by many
others.
The county provides a fine
educational system from kindergarten through high school. Several
2-year and 4-year colleges and universities are within commuting
distance, and more are within 125 to 200 miles of the county.
Hartford is also proud of its
recreational park with 3 softball fields, 3 tennis courts, basketball
court, playground, picnic pavilion, concession stand and more.
Fishermen will enjoy nearby rivers and lakes that provide the best in
both freshwater and saltwater fishing. |
