Milford Gem Named Among Most Beautiful Places in the Region

MILFORD, CT — If you're looking for gorgeous scenery, you don't have to venture out of the state. Two Connecticut spots landed on Yankee Magazine's "Stunning Scenery: 12 Beautiful Places to Visit in New England."

Silver Sands State Park in Milford and Grace Farms in New Canaan represented the Nutmeg State on the list.

The twelve places include everything "from mountaintop views to windswept coastlines and hidden gardens."

The Connecticut locales joined regional heavy hitters like Maine's Acadia National Park and Rhode Island's Newport Mansions.

Silver Sands State Park in Milford is noted for being a "habitat for wildlife, buffer against ocean storms, and just plain lovely to look at," Yankee Magazine says.

"At Silver Sands State Park in Milford, a three-quarter-mile boardwalk ensures this delicate ecosystem leaves a lasting impact on the viewer, not the other way around."

Grace Farms in New Canaan was also lauded as one of the most beautiful places in the region. Only 10 minutes from Philip Johnson’s Glass House is "another gorgeously unconventional building."

Called The River, the architectural gem "helps immerse humans in the natural landscape of Grace Farms, where all but three of the 80 lush acres at this culture and humanitarian center are protected habitat."
