Winter is the perfect season to visit and explore northeastern Connecticut! Enjoy some outdoor recreation including hiking and cross-country skiing, or treat yourself to a day of ice-skating or ice-fishing at the West Thompson Dam in Thompson or at Bigelow Hollow State Park located in Union.

If you prefer to just relax visit a local spa or art gallery. Take an art class at Silver Circle Studio or Sawmill Pottery, both in Putnam, or try a cooking class at Martha’s Herbary in Pomfret. Warm up with a cup of specialty tea at Celebrations Gallery & Tea Room in Pomfret.

Finish off the day with a fabulous meal at 85 Main in Putnam or at The Mansion at Bald Hill in Woodstock. After dinner take in a show at the Bradley Playhouse in Putnam or listen to live music at the Vanilla Bean Café in Pomfret (Saturday nights at 8pm.)
