Coventry is "the gateway to Northeastern Connecticut's Quiet Corner". This extraordinary, semi-rural town offers historic sites, herb and flower farms, antique shops, two public beaches and a boat launch on Lake Wangumbaug.

Coventry is the birthplace of Captain Nathan Hale, whose patriotism during the American Revolution distinguishes him as Connecticut’s official State Hero. Visitors from around the world come to see the Nathan Hale Homestead, an operating museum on the history of the Hale Family. Nathan Hale Ancient Fife & Drums performs throughout the East Coast and holds a Colonial Encampment and Muster at the Hale Homestead each July. Other annual events held at the Homestead include Capt. Hales’ birthday party, walking tours, lantern tours, and corn maze adventures.

South Coventry Village, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, has remarkabl and well-preserved houses and early industrial landscape. The buildings reflect a variety of architectural styles, including Colonial, Greek Revival, Italianate, and Queen Ann. Several buildings are reused as antique centers and specialty stores. Visitors love the shops, intimate restaurants and the warm hospitality of B&B Inns
