Old Wethersfield is so full of History and gorgeous old homes some before the Revolutionary War. It is very rich in history and is beautiful to walk through. They have shops and restaurants. Wethersfield is one of the first colonies. A must visit!

This area has preserved the historical houses for several blocks using them as restaurants, retail and services. Every house was lovely in its own right and preserved well. Enjoyed this area for the simple pleasures in life!

I would suggest beginning a trip to Old Wethersfield by stopping at The Wethersfield Museum. They have changing exhibits and admission is free. There is so much history in this town and want to see in the museum than meets the eye. The staff is eager to share information on Wethersfield and provide input on attractions and restaurants. Additionally, they operate two properties: HURLBUT – DUNHAM HOUSE MUSEUM (which we visited) and THE COVE WAREHOUSE MARITIME MUSEUM. We did not have time for the maritime museum but will visit another time. There is no charge for visiting these properties although donations are gladly accepted. A docent is available to lead you through the house museum or you can stroll through at your leisure. There are several other buildings across the street that are available for tours which I will review separately. A number of good restaurants are in walking distance. There is parking behind the Wethersfield museum as well as parallel parking on the street.

A beautiful place to visit, scenic views, beautiful vintage homes and a shopping street with eclectic stores. Don't miss a stop at Main Street Creamery. Easy access to I91.

This beautiful part of town is a lovely place for a stroll or to simply sit and soak in the history of the town. There are plenty of colonial houses and quaint shops, and in the autumn there’s a scarecrow festival along Main St. There are also good restaurants and pleasant places to sit. This is a fantastic part of a lovely town, and a callback to times when people would actually come out and socialize.
