There are two parts to the Connecticut College Arboretum: the Williams Street entrance leads to beautiful, sculpted trails with labeled trees and plants. The lower Arbo (entrance by the Conn College Athletic Center) is more wild with longer trails that go out to Mamakoke Island Conservation Area. We highly recommend both.

Wonderful, eclectic used book store with goats. That's right. Make sure you go to the main store and not just the smaller downtown offshoot, which is also nice, but has no goats.
