Boothe Memorial Park preserves the Boothe brothers' eccentric 32-acre collection of buildings — a clocktower museum, chapel, blacksmith shop, windmill, trolley station, and an original Merritt Parkway tollbooth.
So Stratford holds two histories in one harbor: the tide that made an oyster town, and the rotor wash that made an aviation capital. Our Stratford designs gather both into wearable form. From a 1639 oyster harbor to the birthplace of the American helicopter — wear a little of Stratford's Connecticut history.
Why People Visit Stratford Connecticut
Stratford draws visitors with a rare mix of colonial harbor history, Long Island Sound shoreline, and aviation heritage. Travelers find it both a 1639 oyster town with a lighthouse and beaches and the birthplace of the American helicopter, with the quiet, layered character of the Connecticut shore. It is historic, maritime, and unmistakably New England.
