A ride in the country from the city is not complete unless one lists the charming Aldrich Museum in Ridgefield Ct. The shows are highly contemporary in a typical charming New England town adding a diverse array of contemporary artists. Small enough giving the viewer an opportunity to become intimately involved and truly enlighing the spectator. Once you try it I promise you'll enjoy going again guaranteed no two experiences are the same.

This small, fascinating museum offers an interesting look into the history of the building, which has been, at various times, a post office, a hotel, a farmhouse, a private home, and a tavern. It's well-preserved and reflects its 18-century history with pride, and is now a local historical and cultural landmark. It also has a gorgeous garden, which can host small weddings as well. Take a tour of the place, the guides are super knowledgeable.

My sister and I took our mom to unwind and de stress. We were all totally refreshed and relaxed at the end of our session. My mom and I both have asthma and felt a difference in the air quality right away! The air felt pure and clean. I’m excited to learn more about the health benefits associated with Himalayan salt. Will definitely be going back.

We went on a Saturday late afternoon and found the place packed. The staff behind the bar were very helpful and explained the features of each brew. We chose a flight so that we could sample 4 different brews. On the board they write the name of each so that you know which one you are drinking. All were delicious!!! There was a food truck outside which had their waiter passing through the brewery taking orders and serving great food to accompany the brews. We sat at a tall table in the enclosed porch. It was a lively atmosphere and fun to actually go and see the brewery in a back room!
7. ACT of Connecticut

ACT is a little gem in the woods - a small state of the art theatre which puts on incredible productions! I've been fortunate to see the shows in this inaugural season, and have been thrilled with the productions! Equity and non-Equity actors, a terrific orchestra, and inventive sets for this smallish stage make the productions magical. I've used earplugs for every production, however, as I find it just a bit loud. But that appears to be related to me and my tolerance, as other patrons don't seem to be bothered by it like I am. The seats are also quite comfortable - great leg room.
