Dating back to pre-Revolutionary War times, this historic district has architectural examples from the past three centuries. There are a few museums to tour including the Webb-Deane-Stevens Museum<\/a><\/strong> and the Wethersfield Museum<\/a><\/strong>, run by the Wethersfield Historical Society. You can also enjoy browsing in small shops and grabbing a bite to eat at the various cafes on Main Street.<\/p>\n

Here’s an additional list<\/a><\/strong> of things you might take-in while in the area.<\/p>\n

As the attractions are a little spread out, biking<\/strong> would be an ideal way to get around.<\/p>\n

This picture is of the Silas W. Robbins House<\/a><\/strong>, which is a truly special bed and breakfast located on Broad Street. It went through extensive historical restoration during the early 2000’s to recover from a 1996 fire. This Second Empire<\/a><\/strong> home is quite an architectural gem.<\/p>\n

Finally, don’t miss a walk around the Wethersfield Cove<\/a><\/strong> area, pictured below.
