The Revolutionary War Campsite is a historic archaeological site in West Hartford, listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It was the site of a 1778 encampment of Continental Army soldiers during the American Revolutionary War and a hospital camp for a short time after. The Town of West Hartford is seeking proposals to engage a qualified historian to complete a comprehensive archival research report including documentary research in local, state and national archives. The completed report will serve as the basis for public history events, publications, historic markers, and school curriculum. The results of this project will also serve as a reference document for historic preservation efforts. This project is made possible by a grant from the Community Investment Act administered by the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO). Work must be done in accordance with SHPO standards and be prepared by a consultant or team that meets the federal qualifications standards under 36 CFR Part 61 for historian. Proposals are due by January 27, 2026.
