Wethersfield holds the largest historic district in Connecticut — Old Wethersfield's roughly 1,100 buildings date to the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries — and that settled, historic character carries into an older, established resident base with a strong pull toward aging in place near the Connecticut River.
