  • Museums

Over the centuries, Connecticut has been home to its fair share of wealthy people who have gifted their collections to institutions so we can all enjoy them. Not widely known outside art circles, there were influential American Impressionist art colonies throughout the state in the late 1800s through the early 1900s. At the lovely Florence Griswold Museum in Old Lyme, residents painted scenes you can see today.  The state is king of house museums, and two more well worth visiting are the former homes of Mark Twain and Harriet Beecher Stowe. Aside from fine art, Connecticut boasts two of the foremost museums of their subject in the world: the Mashantucket Pequot Museum, which presents Native American history and culture; and the recreated historic seafaring village Mystic Seaport Museum, where visitors, including children, are immersed in all things nautical.

The great trade-off when it comes to a much-needed escape from the city to immerse yourself in nature is that sometimes nature is, to put it delicately, a little boring. There is nothing boring about Club Getaway. This 300-acre camp located in Kent, Connecticut offers the best of both worlds. It has a beautiful natural setting, nestled between picturesque forested hills with ample hiking trails and the cool waters of Leonard Pond, and so many fun activities that it may be impossible to try them all in one weekend.  Open from May through October, the camp hosts kids during the weeks and adults on weekends. If you’re looking to give an adult summer camp a go, this is not an option where you will feel like you have missed out on anything. Across the camp’s main campus, you’ll be able to try your hand at a rock climbing wall, a huge aerial park ropes course, a multi-part zip line through the forest and a “sky-cycle” where you pilot a bicycle along a thin wire high in the air. Tennis lessons, softball, volleyball and basketball are also options for those not looking to throw a wrench in their fitness routines.  When it comes to the water, there are plenty of ways to spend your leisure time as well. Campers can swim, experience a water obstacle course, take out kayaks and canoes and even go water skiing behind a speedboat. If you’re in the mood for an outing, there are boozy hikes and bicycle rides. Traditional activities like arts and crafts and “crazy olympics” can also be a part

Connecticut has always been an agricultural capital. The fertile valley soil is perfect for cultivating the produce—squash, maize and artichokes—that has been farmed in the region for centuries. It’s not just seasonal vegetables that thrive in the Nutmeg State; the region’s cold, mineral-rich waters are bursting with seafood, and the rolling grass hills breed very happy dairy cows.   Hospitality types have been flocking to the state to create slow and sustainable farm-to-table food programs, but you can easily enjoy the fruits of their labor on a weekend getaway (try the gooseberries—they’re native to the region). Just assemble a harvest picnic, find yourself a shimmering body of water, and crack open a bottle of your favorite wine.
