Everything North Stonington
I’ve been exploring and writing about Connecticut since 2006. After a decade, I began compiling CTMQ guides for each town in the state. I plan on “completing” North Stonington CTMQ-style… as well as the other 168 towns, cities, and boroughs in Connecticut. After all, that is the ultimate goal of CTMQ.
What do you know about the town that is most famous for, oh, let’s say stone walls and a winery. You can scroll down for my list of things to do in town. Or, as always, you can click on the town’s tag to see what I’ve done.
If I’ve missed anything in town or if anything has closed or changed, please let me know.

June 26, 2018 at 6:04 amIt sounds like you spent a nice day here! For your next visit I would suggest hiking The Cenntenial Trail at Hewitt Property, stopping by one of the biggest casinos in the world for shopping and a show and having dinner at Buon Appetito. The next day if the weather is nice, hike up Lantern Hill for some amazing views of the countryside, North Stonington, Mashantucket, and Ledyard. Then go for a drive on our backroads to see one of several family-owned farms raising dairy and beef cattle, heritage breed pigs, and so much more. If you wanted less walking head towards The Wheeler Library and see what events are going on or head over to the Historical Society for a concert & a special luncheon. You will pass the Congregational Church on the way, stop and buy a pie, you will be glad you did. If you come mid-July be sure to catch the North Stonington Agricultural Fair and late September will bring NoSto Fest. Hope to see you there! Thanks for stopping in!
