Home to author Mark Twain & family, 1874-1899, & where he created his most famous characters. Take a tour and admire the beautiful architecture.
Over 50,000 American, European & contemporary works of art, including a costume & textiles exhibit. Definitely cannot see the whole place in one day. Still on our list to return and visit again!
We often access on bike from Birch Mountain Road. Walking/Hiking is perfect from this location. You can see Hartford from the top of the Carriage Trail. Gorgeous View!
Old timey diner. Must order, cheese burger, milk shake, or ice cream soda. The ice cream is made on premises and is fantastic. Cash only but with on site ATM.

Irish pub you can visit between the ceremony and the reception and is located a few blocks from the church. Pratt Street is closed to cars and has an abundance of great spots to spend the time between the ceremony and reception.
Bloom Bake shop is a fantastic and quaint pastry and coffee shop. Highly recommend to visit between the ceremony and reception.
Cute little cocktail bar.
Great local brewery with locations in Manchester and Hartford.
