In 1639 representatives from three Connecticut towns band together to write what would be the New World's First Constitution. Some dispute this fact, saying that The Mayflower Compact , written 20 years earlier, has that claim as well. Either way, it was one of the first Constitution's written in it's style. Connecticut was dubbed "The Constitution State" because of this written document.

I feel like I've heard of The Fundamental Orders, but I may be mistaken. I love little tidbits like this.

@ScribbledAdNauseum I was a volunteer docent in a history museum here for awhile. It was pretty interesting. It didn't have too many visitors though so I would just wander around in the museum alot, or play online.

@snowy22315 That sounds like an ideal job, depending on the pay.

Yes I agree. I especially love local history, but any history is wonderful. Local History just makes me feel that much closer to the people who lived here before.
