Welcome to Cromwell, Connecticut—a town where natural beauty, colonial heritage, and small-town hospitality come together to offer visitors a refreshing and memorable experience. Tucked along the Connecticut River, Cromwell is more than a pass-through spot—it’s a destination in its own right.
Start your day exploring River Highlands State Park, where wooded trails and ridge-top views offer some of the region’s best hiking and birdwatching. For a quieter stroll, the Cromwell Greenway Trail winds through wetlands and peaceful river vistas perfect for a midday break or morning jog.
History buffs can explore the Main Street Historic District, filled with preserved 18th- and 19th-century architecture and guided by the local Historical Society’s immersive exhibits. Golf fans won’t want to miss TPC River Highlands, home of the annual Travelers Championship and one of the region’s most scenic PGA venues.
Food lovers should plan a stop at From Chan Bakeshop—an artisanal bakery with a cult following for its inventive, French-Asian pastries. You’ll also find friendly taverns, family-run cafes, and Main Street storefronts that give Cromwell its character.
Families and cultural explorers alike will appreciate the town’s seasonal events, concerts in the park, and its proximity to nearby attractions like Dinosaur State Park in Rocky Hill and kid-friendly museums in Middletown. It doesn’t matter if you're only here for a weekend escape or planning to stay a little longer, Cromwell makes it easy to unwind, explore, and enjoy.
