In 1955, a group of disabled young adults living at New Britain Memorial Hospital signed a letter declaring their intention to seek out “adventuresome living for the physically handicapped.” They formed a nonprofit called New Horizons and set out on a thirty-year journey to raise money and navigate legal barriers in order to realize their most cherished dream: a housing complex for the disabled, run by the disabled. In 2026, New Horizons Village in Farmington turns 40. Natalie Belanger of @thectmuseum gives you a capsule history of the New Horizons movement and speaks with current residents and staff about what New Horizons means to them.
