Known as the Crossroads of Connecticut, Cromwell is near the geographic center of the Constitution State and is nestled beside the Connecticut River. The historic downtown area features gorgeous riverfront parks, store, and restaurants. With awe-inspiring natural areas at every turn, most locals spend their time outside enjoying Mother Nature. The town is a great destination for golfing with the TPC River Highlands being right in town. Enjoy a peaceful walk along bluffs with gorgeous views or a family camping weekend at the River Highlands State Park. Just a few minutes outside of town, Brownstone Exploration & Discovery Park offers adrenaline-inducing activities like zip lining, cliff jumping, rock climbing, and more.
Cromwell is pretty calm the majority of year until the community hosts seasonal and holiday events. One of the biggest events is the Holiday Craft Fair in November where handcrafted items and food are sold. Cromwell has quick access to several major highways. An excellent choice for commuters, Crowell is only 37 minutes from New Haven and Wesleyan University.
