A shoreline town located along the Long Island Sound in Connecticut, Branford was settled into in 1644. Several of the attractions in Branford are recognized on the National Register of Historic Places, including over 20 historic homes and other properties. One of its most popular aspects is Thimble Islands, which is an archipelago that is absolutely beautiful and worth exploring if you’re in the area. The best time to visit would be around October or November when temperatures are perfect and the views are at their most stunning.
