Connecticut: Around Town

<BODY BGCOLOR="#FFFFCC"> <PRE><FONT SIZE="-2" COLOR="#FFFFCC">Connecticut: Around Town. Cultural venues, attractions and special events throughout Connecticut. Addresses, phone #'s, and links. Tourism and convention bureaus. Situated between the major metropolitan areas of New York and Boston, Connecticut enjoys several unique advantages: Its rolling hills and scenic landscape offer a refreshing respite for the city dweller. Its cultural venues attract international talent, yet ticket prices are modest by comparison to those in the "city". We are blessed with an abundance of native artistic and musical talent, as well. The Constitution State is steeped in American history, and its proud heritage is reflected in the many historical landmarks which have been preserved through the centuries.
