10 days in Hartford Itinerary

Hartford is the capital of the U.S. Get some historical perspective at Florence Griswold Museum and Emily Dickinson Museum. Step off the beaten path and head to Amherst College Museum of Natural History and Hill-Stead Museum. Venture out of the city with trips to Tapping Reeve House and Law School (in Litchfield), Sunset Meadow Vineyards (in Goshen) and Stonington (Stonington Vineyards & The Stonington Lighthouse Museum). There's much more to do: learn more about the world around you at Springfield Museums, admire the masterpieces at Yale Center for British Art, learn about all things military at Springfield Armory National Historic Site, and examine the collection at New England Air Museum.

For ratings and other tourist information, refer to the Hartford trip itinerary planner.

In March, daily temperatures in Hartford can reach 45°F, while at night they dip to 29°F. Cap off your sightseeing on the 9th (Sat) early enough to travel back home.
