Casting a line in the Farmington River always tends to put a smile on the faces of many anglers. The reason? The chances are better than average that they will find something memorable on the other end of their fishing line. The Farmington River is the second-largest trout fishery in the state of Connecticut, and both fishermen and fly fishers have the potential of catching several different species that include rainbow trout, Atlantic salmon and other freshwater fish.

Even if you've read Huckleberry Finn or Tom Sawyer several times, you still may not really know much about the man who created these timeless works of American literature. A visit to Hartford's Mark Twain House & Museum will change all that in a truly dramatic fashion. The historic home has been meticulously preserved and treats visitors to the sight of various personal items that belonged to Twain, who made his home here before and after he met with his staggering success. Among the most striking pieces at this house museum are his writing desk, eyeglasses and other personal curiosities, and various first editions of his most famous books.

If its live music you want, then the Comcast Theatre in Hartford is where you need to be. This large yet inviting entertainment venue is where the biggest artists play when their big tour rolls through town. Everyone from Elton John to Rod Stewart to U2 to Justin Bieber have all graced the stage in this popular and iconic facility. Parking may be a bit of an issue on the night of a big show, so make plans to arrive early or check the website for possible shuttles to and from the theater. And, the website is also the best place to find out about upcoming shows and ticket purchasing information.
