Imagine a Norman
Rockwell Main Street, a village green, a small town tucked away far from the
main road: these are some of the best places in Connecticut to find distinctive
shopping opportunities.
One of the most
enjoyable ways to experience Connecticut is to shop – in the small stores along
historic Main Streets, in picturesque towns and villages, in unique museums and
some of the finest arts and crafts galleries in America, at wineries, farm
shops and specialty stores across the state.
 At Sawmill Pottery in South
Woodstock, visitors design their own gifts and in Pomfret, the Old Wood
Workshop sells handcrafts fashioned from antique wood. In Hampton, there are
the woven crafts of the Safe Haven Alpaca Farm and Solomon Mines in Stonington
is known for its hand-blown glass and award-winning jewelry.
Situated on the West Bank of the Connecticut River, Essex boasts specialties
including high end clothing and jewelry boutiques within a quaint Maritime
setting. No visit would be complete without a wander through Bethlehem, which
is known as Connecticut’s “Christmas Town.” Visitors come from all over to mail
their Christmas cards at the Bethlehem Post Office where they are hand-stamped
with special Christmas cachets and mailed with the Bethlehem post mark.
