While perusing the Hartford Courant today, I discovered that our fair city of Hartford, Connecticut has a sister city also named Hartford but this quaint hamlet is in South Dakota — just outside of Souix Falls.
In fact, there are 24 cities named Hartford throughout the world. But really, I was fascinated with Hartford, South Dakota.
Maybe it's because I had a college roomate from Pierre, South Dakota or maybe because I lived in Nebraska and was born in Oklahoma — but for whatever reason, I wanted to know *more* about Hartford, SD. So I decided to give the town a call, and wouldn't you know it — a lovely person named Rhonda answered the phone.
