Lisbon is the land between two
rivers, according to Indian lore. It is bounded by the Shetucket
and Quinebaug Rivers. Running through the center of Lisbon is
Route 169, a scenic road which is in the National Heritage
Corridor.
Because of its hilly and rocky
terrain, Lisbon was the first town in the county a railroad tunnel
had to be built. Today the town retains its old-world character.
Nearby attractions include Mystic
Seaport, the Mohegan Sun Casino and the Foxwoods Casino, the Naval
Submarine Base and Nautilus Museum, golfing, the U.S. Coast Guard
Academy, restaurants, and shopping. Be sure and visit the area's
many antiquing opportunities. |
