Travel tips

Plan on driving or using rideshare: the property sits on the Berlin Turnpike and many major attractions are several kilometers away. If you’re building an itinerary, cluster Hartford museums (Wadsworth Atheneum, Old State House, Science Center, State Capitol) since they are all within roughly 6–7 km. For a family day trip, Lake Compounce is farther (about 20 km), so allow extra travel time.
