Stratford Center Historic District - Stratford, CT Area Guide

From the forest to the beach, enjoy Stratford's rich history, iconic eateries, and historical monuments, such as the American Shakespeare Festival Theatre, where Katharine Hepburn, James Earl Jones, and other well-known artists performed. Just minutes from your apartment, step into one of the only national forests within a town or city. Hike, cross-country ski, and fish in this 401-acre wildlife sanctuary. If you prefer beach life to the forest, Stratford promises sandy action at two lovely beaches on the shores of Long Island Sound. Local residents gather at Marnick's, a beachfront restaurant, for fresh seafood, or they meet up for breakfast at the classic Blue Sky Diner, around since 1963. Paradise Pizza on Main Street, another popular long-time eatery, welcomes a regular crowd day and night. Street and musical festivals offer entertainment from spring through fall. A small-town existence with close proximity to urban Hartford or New York City makes living here a wonderful choice.
