Mitchell's on the River (from the Hartford Courant)
This restaurant, a seasonal outpost of the popular Mitchell's in Rocky Hill, is a well-kept secret among locals who head down to the serene, riverside location for breakfast, lunch and dinner during the warm weather months. If you've never visited, expect to be pleasantly surprised. The spot, just five minutes form the busy Silas Deane Highway, offers million-dollar water views and dirt cheap prices.

The Rocky Hill-Glastonbury Ferry is the oldest continuously running ferry in the US. Originally a raft that was poled across the Connecticut River, it was then for a while powered by a horse on a treadmill before being upgraded to a steamship in 1876. Today's ferry is a 3-car barge named the Hollister III towed by a diesel towboat named the Cumberland. (from Wikipedia.org)

Did you know...The Rocky Hill - Glastonbury Ferry and Mitchell's on the River are just two-minutes from the shop? We can't think of a better little day trip for a delightful afternoon than one on the banks of the Connecticut River!
