Stroll down the quaint town and have lunch at Village Pizza or Lucky Lou's. Then, go to Country Store and enjoy looking at some of the most nostalgic items of all time! Go for ice cream at the Main creamary, yum!! Then, go to the Cove down the street and watch the sun set! Very nice to walk around or... More 

If you are in Hartford and you have 2-3 hours to spare, I would take the trip to Old Wethersfield. A very charming area with a lot of well kept, but old, houses. Several places to eat or you can enjoy an ice cream from the local creamery. There are several museums you can visite - or you can just... More 

small but interesting area, liked the free museums cherry helpful staff in most of them. Save two or three hours from your day to check the area might be worth your wild

If you like history, Old Wethersfield is the place to be. We have places where Washington slept, where his army stayed, etc. One of the crown jewels is First Church and the Meeting House. You can imagine all the fire and brimstone sermons that went on there, not so much anymore (grin). It doesn't take too much of an imagination... More 

Had an excellent weekend away visiting Old Wethersfield for the first time. We wanted a historic place where we could do a lot of walking and this place is perfect.

Great area to walk, browse. Good restaurants and ice cream. Very historic. We frequent the area on bicycle and walking. Great place to live or visit.

The cove area's probably the most scenic spot with the old barn that's never open (although it's supposed to be). If you want to see a great old town, go to Deerfield MA instead... More 

There are an exceptional number of historic homes in this charming village. Two homes of historical significance during the revolutionary war period can be toured in the warm season. There are great places to dine and cute shops to explore. There is also a lovely cove that served as a shipbuilding area in the 1700's and now is home to... More 

Wethersfield's Historic Center is small and charming. It's a pass through on your way to somewhere else. If you're interested in history you will enjoy a couple of hours walking Main Street and visiting the circa houses and old cemetery.
