22. New Haven Green
Bordered on its west side by the Yale campus, the New Haven Green is a fine example of early urban planning. Village elders set aside the 16-acre plot as a town common as early as 1638. Three early-19th-century churches—the Gothic Revival-style Trinity Episcopal Church, the Federal-style Center Congregational Church, and United Church—have contributed to its present appeal. For a year, from September 1839 to August 1840, survivors of the slave ship Amistad were incarcerated in a jail on the east side of the green and were brought out of jail to exercise there. An Amistad memorial now resides at the site of the former jail. Besides being a pleasant urban park, the Green is also the venue for festivals and events throughout the year.

26. U.S. Coast Guard Academy
The 100-acre cluster of redbrick buildings you see overlooking the Thames River makes up one of the four U.S. military academies. Visitors are welcome, and security is obviously tight, but being there when the Coast Guard training ship, the barque Eagle, is in port is a special treat. A small museum, located in Waesche Hall on the grounds, explores the Coast Guard's 230+ years of maritime service and includes some 200 ship models, as well as figureheads, paintings, uniforms, life-saving equipment, and cannon.
