Governor Samuel Huntington

A biographical sketch of Governor Samuel Huntington is the latest to be revised, digitized, and posted on our web site. The online biography includes an image of Governor Huntington’s portrait, which hangs in the Museum of Connecticut History.

The State Library has long had a set of typewritten biographical sketches of Connecticut’s governors. Written by various State Library staff and kept in a notebook in the History and Genealogy unit, these biographies cover the personal and political lives of our governors. We are revising, updating, and digitizing these biographies, and linking them to the images of the gubernatorial portrait if there is one.
