Connecticut is home to the oldest newspaper in continuous publication in the U.S. (The Hartford Current), the first hamburger (created at Louis' Lunch in New Haven), and PEZ (in Orange, CT). For those who like places with literary connections, you will be pleased to know that the state was the first to have a public library (Scoville Memorial Library) and that Noah Webster, the creator of the first American dictionary, was born in West Hartford. If you prefer something different than the Webster Dictionary for reading material, here are twelve options set in Connecticut for your enjoyment.
