Hartford Female Seminary in Hartford, Connecticut was established in 1823 by Catharine Beecher, making it one of the first major educational institutions for women in the United States. By 1826 it had enrolled nearly 100 students and implemented radical programs such as physical education courses for women.[1] Beecher sought the aid of Mary Lyon in the development of the seminary.[2][3] The Hartford Female Seminary closed towards the later half of the 19th century.
The school was first hosted in a third-floor room in a building at Main and Kinsley Streets in Hartford, then in the basement of the North Church. In 1827 the school moved into a new neoclassical building at 100 Pratt Street (Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found.).[4]
Harriet Beecher Stowe taught at the school beginning in November 1827.[4]
