In 1893, Emily Wells Foster opened a nursery for blind children in Hartford, Connecticut. It would become the Connecticut Institute and Industrial Home for the Blind, providing education for blind children through a school department and vocational training to blind adults. The name of the institute changed in 1904 to the Connecticut Institute for the Blind. In 1911, the school department moved to more spacious property on Holcomb Street with stately oak trees and eventually became known as Oak Hill School, one of several programs conducted by the Connecticut Institute for the Blind.
