The New England region of the U.S. is one of the most beautiful and
charming regions that the United States has to offer. One state that
boasts this beauty and charm without hesitation is Connecticut. With a
plethora of historical sites and an abundance of natural beauty,
consider Connecticut when making your way up north. And what's the best
way to enjoy and appreciate Connecticut? That's simple: a charter bus
service. And what all can you see and do with a Connecticut charter bus
service? Below are just some of the possibilities.
Connecticut is a state brewed and steeped in history. Known as the
Constitution state, arguments have been made that Connecticut was home
to the first constitution, the Fundamental Orders of 1938/39. Take a
charter bus and explore all of the historical sites of Connecticut. In
the Hartford area, you can take a charter bus enjoy the historical Mark
Twain House, a 19th century Victorian mansion. You can tour the Nathan
Hale Homestead, the home of the Connecticut martyr of the Revolutionary
war. Also, you won't want to miss the Wadsworth Athenaeum, which,
according to See Connecticut, is the oldest national art museum with
50,000 pieces of art that span over the past 5,000 years!
Connecticut also offers loads of museums and tourist spots that you may
not expect. The Danbury Railway Museum pays homage to the history of
the railroad, just another option for the historian of the family. The
Lake Compounce Theme Park, for example, is the nation's oldest
amusement parks with a white water rafting ride, two roller coasters
and so much more. Connecticut is also home to the Carousel Museum of
New England which showcases antique carousels. Mystic Seaport is also
one of Connecticut's most beloved and visited attractions. The 19th
century whaling village offers recreated ships, shops, and homes. As if
that were not enough, the streets of Connecticut towns such as Kent and
Litchfield are also graced with antique shops that you can stroll
through.
In addition to Connecticut's amazing historical value, there is also a
bold natural element about Connecticut that makes it one of the
nation's true gems. One of the greatest times to travel to Connecticut
is during the fall, when the autumn foliage is in full color and
beauty. Litchfield, for example, is considered a "fall foliage home
base,” according to writer Kim Knox Beckius. Weather alters the peak
time of the autumn color, but the last week in September and the first
two weeks in October often provide the perfect leaves for fall foliage
on-lookers. And when you view this beauty on a charter bus, there is no
driving or stress. Just sit back and enjoy the view.
If you feel like you need to enjoy the great outdoors, consider taking
your charter bus to Connecticut's state parks and recreational
facilities. Hammonasset Beach State Park, for example, provides two
miles of beach enjoyment. You can swim, fish, boat, hike, or camp at
this park, and while there is a parking fee, the park is open
year-round. Hammonasset also offers a nature center. There is also
Ocean Beach Park on Ocean Avenue. This park offers a pool and
waterslide, miniature golf, and concession stands to keep away the
hunger while you enjoy your day.
All of these places are accessible through a charter bus service. Save
yourself the dragging feeling that comes along with driving all day, as
well as the hassle of finding a parking space. Let someone else do the
driving for you and enjoy your stay in Connecticut!
