Travel // Wethersfield, CT

Hope you all had a great Memorial Day!  

I had some family visiting from out of state for the week and part of the weekend and we were searching for some last minute things to do in area.  We happened to come across a festival happening in Wethersfield, CT.  I had never been to this charming town before but with some quick googling found that it is famous for being the “Ye Most Ancient Towne” in Connecticut founded 1633-1634.  

It just happened to be the "Wethersfield Heritage Weekend" which included a Revolutionary War Encampment and Revolutionary War re-enactments, so of course we jumped in our car and headed there for the day.

The encampment and re-enactment sure didn't disappoint.  We even got to walk around and speak to the "red coats", dentists and doctors of the camp.

  The doctor above was explaining in detail how he amputated limbs.

We also decided to walk around the block and check out all the homes still lived in from the 

1700's and 1800's.  

So if you are looking for a historic charming town to visit in Connecticut, check out Wethersfield!
