Founded in 1693, the town of Glastonbury is rich in history. Its Historic Curtisville neighborhood is no different, with at least one building on any given point along Main Street likely appearing on the National Register of Historic Places. However, there’s plenty to do and see in the here and now. There's the Welles-Turner Library, restaurants at Eric Town Square and the Center Green, where they hold events like the Apple Harvest and Music Festival. Historic Curtisville was primarily developed in the 19th century, an example of what happens when agriculture and industry come together in one place, with mills and factories filling the area. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992. Historic colonial homes dating back to the 1870s and several townhomes comprise the area. Home prices range from $298,000 to $441,000.

Craft fairs, festivals and war memorials on Hubbard Green
The Hubbard Green is just a short distance south of Historic Curtisville. The expansive green provides plenty of space for picnics and leisurely strolls. Community events like craft fairs, festivals and concerts occur at the green, and the park is home to the Glastonbury Historical Society Museum. Granite war monuments sit at the green’s center, memorializing the Vietnam War, Korean War, World War II and World War I. Glastonbury Town Hall sits at the west end of the green, surrounded by large maple trees. Riverfront Park is just outside the neighborhood, so named because of the Connecticut River that runs alongside it. The park has a little of everything, from sports facilities to a dog park to a playground to scenic waterfront views. Residents can stroll through miles of forested trails or kick back and enjoy the tranquil, glistening waters from the pier. Though it’s mostly a quiet place to relax, the park is especially lively during the summer Riverfront Park Music Series. Family and friends spread out on picnic blankets and lawn chairs to soak up some sun to the tune of local bands.
