What are some of the best historic places to visit in Connecticut?
- Shore Line Trolley Museum (East Haven): Come aboard a restored historic trolley at Sprague Station for a trip down the scenic Branford Electric Railway. You'll see a variety of wildlife the salt marsh brings, including the elegant ospreys. Visit the indoor exhibit rooms to learn about trolley history. Enjoy seeing more than 100 vintage trolley cars and reminisce about the way life was away from the fast pace we know today. A ticket is good for rides on all trolley cars for the entire day from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
- Fort Griswold Battlefield State Park (Groton): Fans of war history in particular will enjoy visiting this beautiful park. It's the site of the largest Revolutionary War battle in Connecticut, the 1781 British massacre of colonial militia. Benedict Arnold commanded British forces to capture the fort on Sept. 6, 1781. In 1778, after three years of construction, the fort was completed to protect the port of New London. Today, visitors will find interesting remnants of that time, such as the restored Ebenezer Avery House, original fort ramparts, the Groton Monument, and a Revolutionary War museum.
- Windsor: As the very first English settlement in Connecticut, one can only imagine the historical homesteads, landmarks, and interesting architecture found here, some dating back to the 1700s. The stories are provided by The Windsor Historical Society which was founded in 1921, as told through photographs, the research library, documents, and genealogical materials. Take tours of the two historic houses open to the public: The 1758 Strong-Howard House and the 1767 Dr. Hezekiah Chaffee House.
