Connecticut

America's Byways®

  • Connecticut State Route 169

    Traverse one of the last unspoiled areas in the northeastern U.S. This byway winds through history, passing colonial homesteads, churches, stone walls, meeting houses and private schools, as it connects classic New England towns. Views include maple and pine stands and glacially deposited rocks and boulders that lie strewn throughout fields.

  • Merritt Parkway

    Set in natural surroundings, Merritt Parkway's significant design brilliantly integrates the craft of the engineer and the artist. The bridges along the Parkway are excellent examples of Art Deco, or Art Moderne, styles of the 1920s and 1930s. Magnificent foliage abounds in both spring and fall.
