Waterbury Hotel Accommodation

Brass City's industrial heritage gleams at the Mattatuck Museum, where local art mingles with artefacts from Waterbury's metalworking heyday. The ornate Palace Theatre hosts performances in a setting that recalls more prosperous times. Holy Land USA, an abandoned religious theme park, offers an oddly compelling glimpse into the city's quirky past. Take a breather at Waterbury Green, where the clock tower stands as testament to more prosperous days. For family adventures, head to nearby Lake Compounce, America's oldest continuously operating amusement park. The city's history as a major timepiece manufacturing centre tells the storey of how Waterbury once kept time for the nation. After exploring, join locals at one of the family-owned Italian restaurants that have sustained generations through boom and bust.
