If you want to check out some artwork this summer, be sure to be in town for the two-week long International Festival of Arts and Ideas, where performers and artists from around the world gather to show off their talents, as well as give lectures and provide family fun events. If you do happen to have a knack for history, the New Haven Museum does a wonderful job and wrapping up all the history of the town, from events like the first settlement in the area to some great inventors like Eli Whitney. You can also take a tour of Yale University, one of the most prestigious universities in the country, with all the history to prove it. Looking to spend the day by the beach? Hammonasset Beach State Park is the place to be for a relaxing day by the water.
