Come explore the defining of American culture and the stories of a Connecticut town!
Discover Noah Webster. Webster’s birthplace helps to tell the story of one man’s vision and his impact on American culture. Through the
promotion of education, laws, human rights, and language, Noah Webster helped to create a national identity for a fledgling nation. Though he accomplished much more during his life, Webster is best remembered for authoring two of America’s most influential books, the Blue Back Speller and the American Dictionary.
Celebrate West Hartford’s History. As the Town’s historical society, we are dedicated to telling and preserving all the stories that make West Hartford the diverse community that it is today. Explore
changing exhibits and enjoy special events that document the evolution of West Hartford from a colonial parish to a modern suburb.
Welcome home and enjoy all the programs and exhibits that the Noah Webster House & West Hartford Historical Society has to offer.

The staff members of the Noah Webster House have written most of the content of this website over the years and continue to write revisions appropriate to the Noah Webster House and West Hartford Historical Society. The date at the bottom of each page is the date the page was last revised. Visitors to this site preparing reports as school assignments should remember to give appropriate information about this source as part of their reports. And after reviewing the website, prepare their written reports using their own words. Noah Webster, who was instrumental in the first copyright law in the country, is the last person who should have his website information plagiarized. This website was created by David Newton in 1996 and he has maintained it since that time.
