East Haddam, Connecticut is blessed with an illustrious history, great natural beauty and rural character, its rolling countryside dotted by old farmsteads, lakes, handsome state parks and quaint neighborhoods. Once a commercial center because of its location on the Connecticut River, East Haddam is now primarily a residential and tourist town.

Many buildings essential to the old mill-town ambiance of East Haddam remain lovingly preserved, its highlights including the schoolhouse where Nathan Hale taught in 1733 and the Gelston House, a historic tavern dating back to 1736. The Goodspeed Opera House, located in East Haddam, is renowned for sending new musicals to Broadway. Historic homes, old stone walls that wind through the woods, post and beam barns and early American buildings stand as testaments to the early life of a trading and farming town.

Within East Haddam, the Village of Moodus was the site of a dozen water-powered textile mills during the nineteenth century and home to eastern European immigrants who worked them. Later, people seeking refuge from city life flocked to summer resorts in Moodus, several of which continue to operate today. Moodus is named for its famed "Moodus Noises," strange audible rumblings that are seismic in origin and that figure prominently in Native American lore.

East Haddam is also home to the headwaters of the Eight Mile River, which runs through a greenway of protected open space. The Devil's Hopyard State Park protects the Eight Mile River as it tumbles over a rushing waterfall and through a hemlock gorge. The Salmon River borders the town to the north and is the site of a state project to restore anadramous fish to Connecticut River tributaries. Three lakes, Bashan, Moodus Reservoir and Lake Hayward, provide recreation and scenic beauty for all to enjoy.
