Enjoy the beautiful gardens, skip the mansion tours
Harkness Memorial State Park的点评
点评:Harkness is one of my favorite places to visit while in Connecticut. It doesn’t matter what time of year you go, there is always a beautiful view. The open fields, the seasonally blooming flowers, the walk along the beach, and the marsh are all spectacular. A word of advice though, enjoy the gardens skip the tour. On our recent visit, they were offering mansion tours for donations. We had been to the park many times but had never done the tour and wish we had skipped it this time. The bottom floor had three tours going on at the same time and with no furnishing the echo was really overwhelming. Plus the tour guide droned on much too long at every room and we only wished we had escaped before we got so close to the end. Many weddings are held here and I can see the appeal of the gorgeous scenery but the bridal suite had an overwhelming scent of carpet freshener so I would avoid the indoor spaces. The gardens, picnic area, and beaches are worth coming back to over and over again.
