Old Wethersfield: A Trip Through Connecticut's Time Machine

Old Wethersfield, otherwise known as the Old Wethersfield Historic District, lays claim as the state's granddaddy, being Connecticut's very first European-American settlement, founded in 1634. Nestled between the Hartford cityscape and Rocky Hill, with rail tracks and I-91 as its closest neighbors, old Wethersfield carries on a tale of the first settlers and their way of life. Added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1970, this district is a sizable one, boasting about 1200 buildings sprawled across roughly 1,300 acres. Roughly 100 of those buildings sport a colonial-era charm, including early frame and brick residences said to be built by sea captains neighboring the town green, alongside the First Church of Christ Wethersfield.
