Norwich

Norwich combines small-city intimacy with the legacy of a busy river port in a way that reflects its position where the Yantic and Shetucket rivers join to form the Thames River. Founded in 1659, the city grew from a colonial settlement into a trading and manufacturing centre, with its waterways connecting it to Long Island Sound. Norwichtown Green retains the plan of the early settlement, while the Slater Memorial Museum at Norwich Free Academy is known for its casts of classical sculpture. The city’s long-standing “Rose of New England” nickname adds another layer to its local identity. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Norwich and southeastern Connecticut.
