Trinity College is an old Gothic architecture built in the late 1800s. The highlight for me was the Chapel. We arrived at a time when the choir was rehearsing for a service - beautiful! The Rose window was jewel-toned sunshine, the pews had a fascinating array of individual carvings on each of the the finials, all done by one man. After our visit at the chapel, we were treated to a NTLIve transmission of a theatre broadcast in London. A delightful Sunday!!See more..

This was first visit here. I had recently read about the newly installed playground and it sounded really nice. My granddaughter loved playing there. The wooden play set is quite large with lots to do. There are a number of slides, climbing areas, swings, a swing tire. The area has lots of shade too. We will definitely return. In addition there are walking trails and a nature center building too.See more..

5.0American Radio Relay League(9 reviews) - A Must See If You're an Amateur Radio Operator Educational sites
My daughter and I visited in February 2017. Being a ham radio operator, this was always a "must see some day thing", but living in the Midwest never was in the area. But when my daughter moved to CT and realized she lived 10 minutes away, we stopped by. We were given a deluxe tour by a staff member who was very friendly and showed us everything. Got to see the W1AW station, where QST is put together and all the old and modern radio equipment. If you're a ham, this is a must see. If you're somewhat interested in radio technology, you would still like it. If none of that interests you, you still may find it interesting and perhaps it will get you started in a wonderful hobby. Ample free parking and visiting is free too!See more..
