Webster Walk At Blue Back Square

Blue Back Square, home to Delamar West Hartford, takes its name from Noah Webster’s famed “Blue-Backed Speller,” honoring the literary legacy that helped shape American education. The square weaves this history into its design, most notably through the striking Dictionary Wall—an engraved stone installation celebrating Webster as the father of the American dictionary. Throughout the walkable district, guests will discover etched literary quotes along sidewalks and building facades, along with bronze statues and contemporary public sculptures reflecting the town’s dedication to the arts. Just steps away at the Noah Webster Library, a prominent statue of Webster stands as a tribute to West Hartford’s enduring cultural and intellectual heritage.
