 People head to New England for the autumn leaves, the quaint bed and breakfasts, and the sleepy seaside villages. But New England is also a mother lode of fine art and antiques, and Stonington is the ultimate source for those with a passion for both. With more than 15 galleries and antique shops, Stonington Borough makes treasure hunting a rewarding adventure. Heading into Stonington for an afternoon's shopping? Look below, it's nice to know in advance where your favorite new artist is showing, who sells estate jewelry and porcelain, and where the 18th- and 19th-century country French furniture is found.
