If you’re going to be in New Haven, see if you can carve out some time to visit the Peabody Museum on Whitney Avenue. It’s a wonderful natural history museum. Visit West Rock in Westville where Judges Goffe, Whalley and Dixwell (three major New Haven streets named for them, branching off Broadway where the beloved Yankee Doodle was located) hid from the British in what is known as Judge’s Cave.
