Indian Hill Cemetery Middletown Heritage Trail Site 12 Corner of Washington and Vine Streets Way (WAY) back in the day, the Wangunk Indians called this place home.

11. Washington Green
Washington Green Middletown Heritage Trail Site 11 Corner of Washington and High Streets Anyone who has driven down Route 66 in Middletown has noticed the Washington Green.

10. Russell House
Russell House Middletown Heritage Trail Site 10 350 High Street Continuing the tradition of completely useless information other than locations, the Heritage Trail brochure states, "Samuel Russell & the China trade; an elite neighborhood; presidents in Middletown."

Crying Fowl West Hartford(Google Maps Location) Multiple Visits 2019 Update: This page is a bit... old. The pictures are bad and poorly formatted, but you'll get the gist.

Beardsley Zoo
OceLotta Fun! Bridgeport (Google Maps Location) September 20, 2008 Connecticut only has one zoo, thankfully. You see, Hoang and I do have ethical issues with zoos - especially ones that don't go full bore trying to best replicate the animals' natural environs. But, on the other hand, we both love seeing animals … [Read more...]
Concept of Freedom Trail: Colchester (2)
Old District Schoolhouse for Colored Children site (Town Green) As I'm sure you'll be racing out to experience this tiny town green for yourself, it's right off of exit 18 along Route 2 where 85 and 16 come together.
