Stop and visit the Chamber of Commerce Visitors Center in Olde Mistick Village, a quaint shopping center with boutiques from the wall. Get some great advice. In addition to the famous aquarium, indoor and outdoor exhibits and hands on exploration of Mystic Seaport, teachers and artisans in costume of the 19th Century offers describe life in a port city in the shipbuilding industry is a journey through the river and explore the houses water. Not only offers the busy timesMystic Seaport, with hundreds of children roaming the ships, buildings and other objects, even the streets around the water. Driving at a crawl, admiring the houses of citizens. Each house has a plaque naming the original owner, employment and the construction date. There were carpenters, captains, sail makers, doctors, priests, traders, caterers, mechanics, etc. This is a real pleasure, not only too far from the noise of the masses, but also see 19Century real homes in which these men lived their families. From the outside, the size, architecture and working environment, these wealthy men.
End of calm water, the rest of the city, past Mystic Pizza, which was filmed the 1988 movie. The rest of the city situated on hills overlooking the Mystic River and Long Sound Iceland. On the road out of town on Rte. 1 Find a small war cemetery1812th
Stop in Stonington, CT, another surprise. Once again, the roads are closely related to people's homes in the maritime sector. An extraordinary home of Captain Edmund Fanning, the first to fly the flag of the United States of America around the world aboard the Betsy 1798-9.
A little known event that occurred here, a bitter struggle against the British. Holding front of the three landing ships of the British local citizens stopped at Stonington and MysticInvasion. A lighthouse sits down in the days of struggle. The cemetery is home to pass these brave men of Mystic. Stonington's men are buried in a historic cemetery in their town.
Across the Pawcatuck River, the dividing line between Connecticut and Rhode Island you have the courage to Westerly, RI. View the banquet to Watch Hill Point. This carousel was built in 1870 Each horse is hand carved from one piecewood. The mane and tail are real horsehair. Swing Out carousal horses when the wheel indicating the illusing flying. The party is still in operation.
Next visit to New London. New London is also home to Eugene O'Neill's childhood, Monte Cristo Cottage. Overlooking the harbor, O'Neill, the only playwright to win the Nobel Prize, use this setting for two of his plays, Long Day's Journey into Night and Ah, Wilderness. Signage in Connecticut is wonderful, until you areCity. The founding fathers assumed that you know what you're on the road. They are very good on the names of cross streets, but careless on the roads. Maybe you need to find a difficult time Pequot Street, where O'Neill was at home. Use a card.
Trumbull House, the War Office. In the heart of Lebanon, CT, find the home of Jonathan Trumbull, the only colonial governor who sided with the revolutionaries. London was halfway between Boston and New York. His housewas the meeting place of over 1,200 strategy meetings. Perhaps the most important was the Count of Rochambeau and Washington before the Battle of Yorktown.
His neighbor happened to Dr. William Beaumont, the "Father of Physiology. He observed and documented digestion in humans from a wound in the stomach of patients that do not heal properly.
