Although southwestern Connecticut is now largely a suburban residential area for New York City, most of the rest of the state has retained its New England character, offering travelers delightful little elm-shaded village streets punctuated by the white spires of Colonial churches edging peaceful village greens. The Litchfield Hills section, in the northwestern corner of the state, bordering Massachusetts and New York, is one of the best places to absorb the old New England atmosphere, and view some lovely scenery—especially in and around the Housatonic River valley —and it also offers some good skiing when the weather cooperates. There are some very pleasant watering places along the shore of Long Island Sound; and at Mystic Seaport, in the southeastern part of the state near the Rhode Island line, you can enjoy a fascinating restoration of the early sailing and whaling days.
