Home to Yale University, the invention of the hamburger, and a state full of history, Connecticut is full of experiences waiting to be had. If you’re a historian, you can visit the Mark Twain House in Hartford — it’s the actual house that Mark Twain and his family lived in in the 1800s. 

Looking to unwind? Head to the town of Chester, with buildings from the 19th century, full of art studios, galleries, and gift shops.
