Progress Flag Field

The Progress Flag Field honors the legacy of Frederic Palmer and Howard Metzger, who created a welcoming space for friends, family, and the LGBTQ+ community. This installation serves as a place for reflection, with each flag representing the diverse identities within the community. It honors those who fought for equality and celebrates unity, resilience, and the importance of safe spaces.

Sponsor a Flag, Share a Story
Each Progress Flag in our field represents a powerful act of love, remembrance, or hope. Whether you’re celebrating someone’s journey, honoring a life lost, or standing in solidarity with those still seeking acceptance, your sponsorship helps build a visible, vibrant symbol of support. Dedicate your flag with a name, a memory, or a message — every story matters.

On Display June 14-July 12 from dawn to dusk at the Palmer-Warner House. Purchase tickets to tour the house or view our Letters of Unity exhibit here.

If you have any questions, please contact palmer.warner@ctlandmarks.org

Isham-Terry Open Tour Sunday

The Isham-Terry House is a time capsule of genteel life in turn-of-the-century Hartford. In 1896, Dr. Oliver Isham purchased the 1854 Italianate house for his medical practice and as a home for himself, his parents and his three sisters. His sisters, Julia and Charlotte, lived in the house until their deaths in the 1970s as urban renewal claimed many of the houses in the once-grand neighborhood. Explore this beloved family home to learn about the booming industries and culture of Hartford in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, understand medical practice and public health at this time, and learn more about the Isham and Terry families through the items they owned.


Advance registration for tours appreciated, but walk-ups welcome as space permits!
