Historic Building sights in Connecticut

  1. A

    State Capitol

    You can tour the state capitol, built in 1879 in such a hodgepodge of styles that it's sometimes dubbed 'the most beautiful ugly building in the world.' Below the capitol grounds, the 37-acre Bushnell Park features a working 1914 carousel, lovely gardens and summer concerts.
