When my family planted roots in Connecticut over 20 years ago, they unknowingly sparked what would become a personal mission: to uncover every hidden gem this diverse state has to offer.
Salt and Stone CT began as my digital field journal—documenting discoveries from misty coastal mornings in Mystic to the fire-colored fall afternoons in the northwest hills. Each recommendation comes from real exploration, whether it’s a seafood shack I stumbled upon during a weekend drive, a family-owned B&B with stories etched into its wooden beams, or a coffee shop where locals actually linger.
What started as personal research has grown into a curated collection of New England experiences worth sharing. I’m constantly exploring, photographing, and taste-testing my way through Connecticut’s landscapes and local establishments—some well-known, others waiting to be discovered.
This isn’t just another travel guide filled with the usual tourist stops. It’s a growing, evolving resource built on authentic experiences and practical insights for fellow travelers seeking the soul of Connecticut.
Let’s discover what makes this corner of New England special—one stone, one shoreline, one small town at a time.
