The Hartford and Tolland Turnpike was a turnpike that once connected the statehouse in Hartford, Connecticut to the county courthouse in Tolland, Connecticut. The turnpike was created by the Hartford and Tolland Turnpike Company, organized in October 1801, and apparently opened to traffic shortly afterward. Due to errors in its initial survey, it was resurveyed in May 1804 and the route adjusted accordingly. Its westernmost terminus was in East Hartford, Connecticut at the ferry (and subsequent bridge, first built in 1808) across the Connecticut River to Hartford. It then ran roughly along the lines of today's Governor Street and Tolland Street in East Hartford, through what is now the Tolland Turnpike and then Interstate 84 in Manchester, Connecticut, then along the Hartford Turnpike (Con

A surviving milestone may be seen on the Hartford Turnpike in front of the Vernon Community Arts Center.
