We took a nice day trip to Old Wethersfield ,
Connecticut today . It's the oldest settled
town in Connecticut ( 1634 ) .
One of the oldest houses is from the 1600s .
This red house below is just one of the many
beautiful historic homes from the 1700s on
Main Street , Old Wethersfield .
This is me standing in front of another historic house
on Main Street . I liked the old fence and and the
pretty wreath on the door .
My husband and I took a ride around town
in this horse drawn carriage from the 1700s .
The inside was really neat , all lined in
a pretty antique printed paper and it had lace
and ball fringe curtains . It had very delicate looking
wooden doors with old glass .The driver told us he's
been driving this carriage for 18 years .
He told us it's the same carriage that was in the
movie Amistad & that
both rode in this carriage . Pretty neat !

Some neat shops & cafes on Main Street .
Some stores , such as the deli and the ice cream
parlor were closed for the season . It was very cold today
so the town was a little quiet . The Tea Room seemed to
be the hot spot in town , today anyway .

How wonderful! Connecticut is my home state! I remember when they filmed The Amistad at Mystic Seaport.

Sounds like a fun little trip.
Hi, I'm Margaret - first time visitor, found you through page jumping - you know how it goes... anyway, my husband and I were in Connecticut back in Oct.2000 (before our world turned upside down on 9/11) It was so lovely I could have stayed forever. I adored the little towns and the fantastic historical libraries!! Wow. Anyway, your site is lovely and speaks to my heart. Thanks for sharing and giving a bit of pleasure in a world of too many concerns. God bless you! "Auntie eM" The Salt Box

Hi!
I came over from Edie Marie's Attic to enter your giveaway! I thought it was her giveaway, but I must say I enjoyed my visit here! The carriage ride must have been so romantic!!! I have always dreamed of living in the New England area. I love quaint little towns. I was raised in one in PA and loved it! I'll be back to visit again!!! Your post was absolutely charming!!!

Your winter day trip looks like so much fun!! And, wow, four dollhouses! I would never get anything done! I would be playing all of the time! (I have one I am decorating.) Holiday Wishes! ~Mandy
