Quirky Tourist Attractions in or near Connecticut

While in Connecticut, you might enjoy a visit to:

Westerly, Rhode Island: Florence Nightingale's Nurse Cap

The pioneering 19th century English nurse is always depicted in her nurse cap. In any other state, this minor artifact would be buried in the tourist attraction pile. Not in Rhode Island!
~7 miles from Mystic.

Foster, Rhode Island: Formerly Most Inaccessible Highest Point in the U.S.

A cantankerous property owner once made this small protuberance a no trespassing zone -- but visits to Jerimoth Hill are now permitted.
~34 miles from Mystic.

Chepachet, Rhode Island: Memorial to Little Bett the Elephant

In 1826, this touring pachyderm was shot down by mysterious gunmen on a bridge while the circus was in town. Today, there's a commemorative plaque on the bridge.
~40 miles from Mystic.

Portsmouth, Rhode Island: Duke and Duchess of Windsor's Dog's Grave

Beloved mutt of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor. The Duke abandoned his throne, but not his dog Pookie.
~38 miles from Mystic.
