Description
Connecticut boasts an abundance of beauty, creativity, and opportunity. Sarah Cody, travel reporter at WTNH, will share some of her favorites in the presentation, based on her book, "Around Every Corner of Connecticut," at the historic Pardee-Morris House, The free event will take place on Sunday, July 20 2025, at 2 p.m.
Cody will illustrate an abundance of beautiful destinations and exciting seasonal (and year-round) activities in Connecticut. Going beyond well-known state parks, attractions, and museums, Cody will demonstrate where visitors can take a llama for a hike, spy a majestic bald eagle on the banks of the Connecticut River, or take a sleigh ride through a snowy pasture. She’ll also discuss highlights from some of Connecticut’s “trails,” including the Barn Trail, Wine Trail, and Chocolate Trail and Dinosaur Trail.
Cody hopes visitors will get some great ideas for outings and a greater appreciation for Connecticut. She notes people are interested to hear the history of the state’s lighthouses—Faulkner and Greens Ledge, in particular—and enjoy learning about the Wicked Tulips destination, and why UConn’s famous husky was named Jonathan.
Using her experience as a travel reporter, Cody will take visitors to her favorite spots, and provide valuable, and sometimes little-known information and tips. The afternoon promises a unique and spirited look at Connecticut.

About the Pardee-Morris House
Located at 325 Lighthouse Road, in New Haven, the Pardee-Morris House dates from about 1780, and is listed on the State and National Register of Historic Places. Built by Amos Morris around 1750, the house was burned by the British during their raid on New Haven in 1779 and rebuilt and expanded by the Morris family. In 1918, William S. Pardee, a descendant of the Morris family, willed the property to the New Haven Colony Historical Society, today the New Haven Museum.
