Visitor Information
Litchfield County has so much to offer. While you're staying at the Heritage Inn, let us suggest you visit some of these New England attractions.
.................................................................
Ellsworth Hill Orchard & Berry Farm
The character of Ellsworth, Connecticut, in many ways reflects the same character it wore in the latter part of the eighteenth century when the Ellsworth Society was formed apart from the Sharon and Kent Townships. Rolling hills, open pastures, original structures, and thick woods are aspects of rural Ellsworth which existed then and have continued to the present.
Ellsworth Hill Farm and Orchard would like to keep the history of the farm going, and is proud to open the Orchard to those who would like to roam the raspberry and apple fields and view the beauty of the land that still stands the same way centuries later.
We offer a large variety of apples that will please the most diverse apple lover. Just a sample of what we offer are Ozark Gold, Macoun, Cortland, Empire and Red Delicious. Besides the delicious apples, we also grow raspberries, strawberries, pumpkins and gourds - come and pick your own. Additionally, you'll find a variety of vegetables at our farm stand. Our apple cider is pressed on site!

The White Memorial Foundation and Conservation Center
The White Memorial Conservation Center, an Environmental Education Center and Nature Museum, is located in the heart of the 4000-acre White Memorial Foundation in the hills of northwestern Connecticut.
In 1964 the Center was established in the former home of Alain White and his sister, May. Their vision and generosity led to the formation of the White Memorial Foundation in 1913. A non-profit tax exempt organization, the Center was incorporated to add the goal of Education to the Conservation, Research, and Recreation purposes for which the foundation was formed.
