ZIP Codes: 06033, 06073 Location Characteristics: Originally established in 1693,Glastonbury was a shipbuilding and milling town. With a blend of neighborhoods and small commercial establishments, the Hartford suburb retains a rural and colonial environment. The stunning homes include some of the most remarkable examples of architecture in New England. In Connecticut, Glastonbury has the highest number of pre-Revolutionary homes. Its pre-Revolutionary gems are complemented with a variety of well-preserved federal and colonial styles and newer homes, condominiums and small apartments.
Protecting thickly wooded lots and farmland is important to the town, and as a result Glastonbury has purchased hundreds of acres of open space. The Meshomasic State Forest, Cotton Hollow Preserve and the Connecticut River maintain habitats for many New England animal and plant species.
Town parks, playground and baseball diamonds offer individual and team sports, including tennis, swimming, ice-skating and golf. Hiking trails and horseback riding along with camping facilities is available in Gay City State Park. The center of town has a real New England feel and is home to great shopping and dining options.
