Happy Fall!

One of my most favorite seasons, especially with the foliage! I find myself visiting many towns over and over again in Connecticut. Here are some of my favorites:

Mystic, CT

As a local of Mystic, I may be biased. You can’t beat the beautiful foliage views on Mystic River! The peak is usually mid to late October.

Old Wethersfield, CT

During the month of October, they host the annual Scarecrows on Main event. I love seeing all the creativity! It is such a beautiful walkable neighborhood. The residents are always friendly.

Essex, CT

A picturesque town where the residents takes pride in maintaining the beautiful historical homes that lines the Main Street. There are also several shops that you can pop in and peek around. I highly recommend to walk down to the waterside by Connecticut River Museum to see the ducks and enjoy the foliage views.

Washington, CT

Known as the town that inspired Gilmore Girls, it is a beautiful small town with that Star Hollows charm! I enjoy every time I’ve visited Washington and never been disappointed. Read more suggestions about Washington + surrounding towns in Litchfield County here.

Stonington, CT

It’s a beautiful town to visit year-round, but there’s something special about fall in the borough. The historical homes are decorated with pumpkins, the crispy leaves falling on the ground and foliage on the water.

New Haven, CT

It’s always a must to walk around Yale Old Campus during fall. I look forward to this tradition every first weekend of November. It is just stunning with the backdrop of the gothic architecture.

There are many more beautiful towns in Connecticut that didn’t get mentioned, I’m sure. Feel free to share your recommendations in the comments below!
