Eolia Mansion at Harkness State

Historical place

👍👍 Free entry for CT residents. First-time visitor. Amazed at how peaceful I felt, and I imagine everyone else felt the same. People were having picnics, enjoying the beach, walking among the gardens, or just leisurely strolling across the grounds. Amazing bit of paradise with plenty of room to spread...

Queset House

👍👍 This is one of the best hidden gems in Easton! The house is beautiful crafted and well thought out. It has one room filled with some really old books, and you can just sit and read them in peace.

Eliot Tower - Great Blue Hill

Historical place

👍👍 I visited Blue Hills with co-workers for a team outing. It went well and everyone had a wonderful time. I would say is a moderate hike with some challenging parts. The are areas with a lot of rocks and you could twist your ankle pretty easily. But the view at the top of the tower is absolutely beaut...

Frederick Law Olmsted National Historic Site

Historical place

👍👍 Guided tours start every 30 minutes which is highly recommended in order to see most of the house. The group size is limited to 8 due to the size of the rooms the tour takes place. Overall very interesting experience. After the tour, you might walk away with a much different view on how the Olmsted...

Boyd's Windmill

Historical place

👍👍 This was my first time seeing a windmill in person! It was only a few minutes from my Vrbo rental and I randomly stumbled across it and just had to pull over and take photos! It's in great condition and it's pretty huge too. It felt like I was in another time.

Newport Tower

Historical place museum

👍👍 The Newport Tower is a nice little tower in the middle of a nice little park. At first glance it appears to to be a simple tower in a park, some claim that this tower has a much more complex history. There have been TV shows that have made the claim that the tower was built by the Knights Templar. T...
