Essex

Overlooking the Connecticut River, the genteel town of Essex 4 [map], 17 miles (10.5km) farther east (via Route 1 and, for a short way, north along Route 9) typifies upscale Yankeedom. Check out the restored 18th-century homes, a riverfront dotted with sailboats, and the rambling 1776 Griswold Inn (for more information, click here). Stroll down to the wharf­side Connecticut River Museum (67 Main Street; tel: 860-767-8269; www.ctrivermuseum.org; Tue–Sun 10am–5pm), which has a working model of the world’s first submarine, a design of Yale student David Bushnell in 1776. Grab a bite to eat at Marley’s Café, see 3 [map].
