Thomas Hooker is more than the namesake of a pretty good beer. He was the founder of the Connecticut Colony in Hartford and one of the trail blazing pioneers in America’s early march to a democratic society based on a constitution.
Way back in 1635, he led 100 members of his Puritan congregation from Cambridge, MA to Hartford.
Here’s something interesting about Thomas Hooker. There were no known portraits of him ever recovered by historians. The sculptress of this statue (Frances Wadsworth) used the features of his local descendants as a guide to determine what he probably looked like !
There are inscriptions on all 4 sides of the statue’s base. Here are some highlights
THOMAS HOOKER
1586 – 1647
Founder of Hartford Pastor
— Statesman —
Leading his people through the wilderness, he founded Hartford, in June 1636. Two years later he preached the historic sermon, which inspired the Fundamental Orders, and sowed the seeds of free Constitutional government in America.
«As God has given us Liberty, let us take it.»
