Perhaps the most beautiful place in eastern Connecticut. This historic stone castle built by the actor who played Sherlock Holmes, has stunning views on the Connecticut River. A perfect place to walk, pick-nick, and it is also a museum (check for open times, because it varies.)

100 years ago, a strong, independent woman believed girls, and particularly, black girls, should be allowed to have an education. Prudence Crandall started her school and it is now a museum, within a short drive of us in the picturesque eastern Connecticut countryside.

Super fun zoo for the kiddos. There is a water-splash area and lots of hands-on exhibits in the zoo, plus a large park outside the zoo. (Seasonal) It is about 57 minutes away, but worth the drive for a day-trip.

How do I even start? Home of the lobster bomb. You sit outside (in good weather) right on the dock, and have some of the best seafood around. A little pricey, but worth it.

Buttonwoods makes fresh, farm-made ice cream with generous servings, and lots of flavors. There is always a crowd in good weather. Seasonal - it is ice-cream after all. Also, some people feel it is a bit expensive, but they usually go anyway.
