Connecticut is steeped in the history of our country's earliest days, beginning with the Colonial period, through the Revolutionary War and up to the present. CT welcomes visitors interested in historic homes and historic sites. Some historic sites are museums located in the homes of legendary writers like Mark Twain and Harriet Beecher Stowe. Families with kids interested in history will be fascinated by the Ancient Burying Ground in Hartford, locations of the Underground Railroad,museums honoring historic railways and trolleys, the Amistad Museum, and much more. Lighthouses on the shoreline and covered bridges in the inland Litchfield area also speak of the state's deep New England character.
