Culture
/ Recreation
Connecticut's northeast corner offers all the advantages
of living in the serenity of small town or rural
settings with easy access to the advantages of several
large cities. Boston, Providence, Hartford, Worcester,
Springfield, New London and Norwich are all within
easy driving distance.
Those who love old things will find historical sites
and antique shops around every corner. Fairs, art/craft
shows, and concerts vie for attention each weekend.
Golf, cycling and sky diving are available locally.
Break-A-Leg Productions, Three C's, Opera New England
and Theatre of Northeastern Connecticut offer a menagerie
of stage productions throughout the year.
Town Recreation Commissions have well developed sports
programs and theatrical productions for children
and adults. The region gives you the option of being
involved in a whirlwind of exciting activities or
retreating peacefully into seclusion.
