Connecticut, an easy drive from New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and eastern Pennsylvania for day and weekend trips, is the picturesque southern gateway to New England. The northwestern part of the Nutmeg State – the Litchfield Hills – is rich with rolling landscapes, dainty villages centered upon town greens, lots of hiking and bicycling trails, and many antique shops. You will find countless museums like the Peabody museum in New Haven, history lessons with the Essex steam train or a visit to Mark Twain's house in Hartford. There are also many sports events to be had like the Pilot Pen tennis tournament in New Haven to the PGA Traveler's event in Hartford.
Let the youngins enjoy kids entertainment centers like Chuck E Cheese and Smilees Amusement Center in Milford or amusement parks Lake Compounce in Bristol and Quassy Amusement Park located in Middlebury. Plenty of boating can be done at marinas from Greenwich, Fairfield and Stratford in the east, to Groton and New London on the west of the state bordering Rhode Island. Whatever the appetite while visiting Connecticut, you are sure to encounter numerous possibilities to enjoy yourself and have fun doing it.
Connecticut is a state located in the New England region of the northeastern United States of America. From a statistical and economic perspective, southwestern Connecticut is part of the Tri-State Region or New York metropolitan area, which also includes northern New Jersey and southern New York, though it is legally separate from New York state.
The original European settlers in 1614 were Dutch, but by 1636, Connecticut became a British colony. Connecticut was one of the Thirteen Colonies that revolted against British rule in the American Revolution. Residents of Connecticut are sometimes referred to as Nutmeggers or Yankees.
Connecticut has the highest per capita income in the country, and ranks 1st in median household income. It is the richest state in the United States. Connecticut is the 29th most populous state and 48th state for largest area, making it the 4th most densely populated state.
