Topic #8
Are you Planning a VACATION this year???
The Connecticut River Valley is a WONDERFUL place to visit. Turn back the clock to the way New England was in the 1800's... Make your appointment with me to stop in for a visit, see my puzzles, see my art selection of thousands of prints and pictures, and maybe you will be inclined to order a personalized puzzle or two. I am just 12 miles north of I-95, along the Connecticut river, about midway between New York City and Boston, and 30 minutes south of Hartford..

In addition to visiting with us.. there are quite a few great local attractions within a 20 minute drive of our town. They are as follows. (Essex Steam Train Museum - Gillette Castle - The Connecticut River Ferry (Seasonal) - The East Haddam Playhouse Theatre - The Chester Playhouse - Nilsson Art Studios - Both the Chester and Essex Boat Marinas - and only 30 minutes away is the famous Mystic Seaport. There are also many dozens of fine antique shops in this area for you antique lovers! Perfect for a family vacation any time of the year! For more information, www.CTRiverValley.com
