HARTFORD, CONNECTICUT.- A sport utility vehicle drove into the Butler-McCook homestead museum and destroyed irreplaceable artworks and antiques on display. William Hosley,executive director of the Antiquarian and Landmarks Society stated, "It’s devastating. This was the real thing. It was the only original house left in Hartford when George Washington visited the city for the last time in 1789. It was the only survivor from Colonial times." The museum had just gone through a $1.3 million-dollar renovation and reopened in June. The museum housed the largest collection of arts and antiques made in Hartford. A 21-year-old was driving the vehicle.
