Conneticut

Overview

The New England State of Connecticut is close to New York City and is a size that will not overwhelm the visitor. If art is something that is of interest then the enormous collection at the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art in Hartford, the Yale Center for British Art in New Haven, which is the country’s largest such collection and in Cheshire the Barker Character, Comic and Cartoon Museum should all be visited. Amongst the world’s largest gaming facilities is Foxwoods Resort Casino, although if that sort of gaming is not a draw then possibly NASCAR racing at Stafford Springs or in the Hammonasset Beach State Park in Madison will be more appealing. Simply moving through the calm countryside, possibly near the Quinebaug and Shetucket rivers past small towns will prove relaxing and a welcome rest from big city life.
