Satan’s Kingdom State Recreation Area

Satan’s Kingdom State Recreation Area ist eine vom US-Bundesstaat Connecticut geführte Freizeiteinrichtung auf dem Gebiet der Gemeinde New Hartford. Name Das Gebiet erhielt seinen Namen durch eine Bande von Ausgestoßenen der Tunxis. Sie lebten von Diebstahl und schreckten auch vor Mord nicht zurück. Ihre Verstecke waren in den Felsformationen am Farmington River. Bereits 1800 wurde das Gebiet allerdings gesäubert. Der letzte Bewohner (Mossock) wurde 1850 zu einer Haftstrafe verurteilt wegen Mordes an einem Ureinwohner. Freizeitaktivitäten Das Grundstück umfasst nur 1 acre (0,4 ha) und liegt direkt am Farmington River. Es bietet Zugang zum Fluss und daher starten von dort viele Kanu-, Kayak- und Tubing-Touren. Es gibt auch einen Verleih. Die Strecke auf dem Fluss erstreckt sich über drei Stromschnellen. In der Nähe liegen auch die Felsformationen Shelter Rock, Table Rock und Tipping Rock.

Satan's Kingdom State Recreation Area

Satan's Kingdom State Park is a public recreation area occupying one acre (0.40 ha) of land beside the Farmington River in the town of New Hartford, Connecticut. The site is located on the north side of the Route 44 bridge over the Farmington River. It is used as a put-in for canoeing, kayaking, and tubing excursions on the river. History The gorge through which the Farmington River flows has been known as "Satan’s Kingdom" since the 1870s, when the construction of the New Haven and Northampton Railroad along the river proved particularly difficult. The recreation area was added to the roll of Connecticut state parks in 2012. Activities and amenities Tube rentals are offered by a concessionaire. A 2.5-mile (4.0 km) trip encounters three sets of rapids. Hiking trails in neighboring Nepaug State Forest, including the Tunxis Trail, are accessible from Satan's Kingdom Road on the south side of the bridge.

Saville Dam

Saville Dam is an earthen embankment dam with masonry work on the eastern branch of the Farmington River in southwestern Barkhamsted, Connecticut and central Hartland, Connecticut, dividing the latter into two villages along its hilltops, East and West Hartland. The dam is 135 ft. (41 m) tall and 1,950 ft. (590 m) long and has an uncontrolled spillway on its western portion. It creates the Barkhamsted Reservoir which has a volume of 36.8 billion US gallons (139,000,000 m3) and is the primary water source for Hartford, Connecticut. Connecticut Route 318, also known as Saville Dam Road, crosses over the top of the dam. In 1927, the Metropolitan District Commission began to purchase land in the present-day footprint of the dam and reservoir. Construction of the dam commenced in 1936 while land to the north was being stripped of lumber and buildings. Before the Metropolitan District Commission named the Saville Dam in 1940 in honor of its chief engineer, Caleb Mills Saville, it was referred to as the Bill's Brook Dam after the brook that ran near the site at the time. The foundations for "Bill's Brook Dam" and the diversion tunnel for the East Branch of the Farmington River were completed in August 1934. Subsequently, the East Branch was diverted into the concrete conduit at the bottom of the Bill's Brook Dam site. The dam was completed in May 1940, at a total cost for dam and reservoir of $10M. Although the Saville Dam was completed in 1940, it was not until 1948 that the Barkhamsted Reservoir finally filled to capacity. The Farmington River East Branch is impounded for nearly 8 miles (13 km) behind the dam, with the northernmost open waters of Barkhamsted Reservoir terminating in Hartland, Connecticut just south of the Massachusetts border. The reservoir flooded many buildings and farms of Barkhamsted, including the village of Barkhamsted Hollow. The village of Barkhamsted Center, partially flooded, lies just to the west of the reservoir. Its remaining buildings are part of the Barkhamsted Center Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Second Church of Christ

The Second Church of Christ, known more recently as the South Congregational Church, is a historic church in Hartford, Connecticut. Built in 1825–27, it is one of the oldest surviving public buildings in the city. It is the third home of its congregation, which was founded in 1670, and is one of the oldest purely Congregationalist groups in the nation. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. Architecture and history The South Congregational Church is located south of downtown Hartford, at the southwest corner of Main and Buckingham Streets. It is a two-story rectangular brick building, fronted by an elaborate tetrastyle Greek Revival temple front, and an elaborate multi-stage tower. The building's interior is reflective of a mid-19th century Greek Revival restyling conducted by architect Minard Lafever. When the Connecticut Colony was established in the 1630s, its religious organizations were dominated by Rev. Thomas Hooker. Following Hooker's death in 1647, issues of church doctrine and governance began to divide his congregation in Hartford. These led to a split in 1670, in which the Second Church was formed by 31 members of that congregation. The congregation claims to adhere to Hooker's original covenant, of which they have a copy in his hand. Its first church was built near this spot, as was the second. The present building was constructed in 1825-27, on land previously occupied by the parsonage of its second minister, Thomas Buckingham. It was built by local master builders Nathaniel Woodhouse and William Hayden, and is one of only four surviving public buildings in the city that was built before 1830. In 1847 a two-story brick addition was made to the rear and side, carefully designed and integrated into the original by Joseph Camp. This addition was extensively damaged by a tornado in 1979.

Colt’s Manufacturing Company

Colt’s Manufacturing Company (CMC) е компания производител на огнестрелно оръжие, в това число много популярните американски пистолети и револвери под обединеното название Colt. Компанията е разположена в Хартфорд, щат Кънектикът, САЩ. Произвежда оръжия за армията и полицията, спортно и ловно оръжие. На 24 май 2021 г. компанията е придобита за 220 млн. долара от чешката оръжейна холдингова компания Colt CZ Group. История През 1836 г. младият оръжеен конструктор Самюъл Колт основава предприятието Colt’s Patent Firearms Manufacturing Company, но то през 1842 г. то обявява банкрут и не произвежда револвери в продължение на пет години. но ефективността и дизайнът на оръжието стават достояние на тексаските рейнджъри и те правят поръчка за 1000 големи револвера, по-късно известни като Colt Walker, което дава на компанията възможност за по-нататъшно развитие. Армията на САЩ в същия момент също търси младия предприемач и поръчва още повече револвери. Поръчките не прекъсват и за 173 години са произведени 30 млн. единици оръжие. На 25 януари 1986 г. в компанията започва 4-годишна стачка на работниците, която води до загуба на договори и фалит. Нестабилността продължава до 1994 г., когато компанията е придобита от нов собственик. – групата Zikha. През 2002 г. фирмата се реорганизира – част от фирмата отделя се като Colt Defense LLC, самостоятелно подразделение, което се специализира в доставката на оръжия за правоприлагащите органи, докато Colt's Manufacturing Company работи на гражданския пазар. През 2013 г. обаче компанията е принудена да намали разходите си и да оптимизира лицензионната си политика; в резултат тези компании са обединени отново под марката Colt Defense LLC. Държавните поръчки намаляват рязко от 2011 г. насам, но годишната печалба на компанията все още надхвърля 200 млн. щатски долара. През 2014 г. обаче компанията губи договор за доставка на винтовки M4 за армията на САЩ. Освен това финансовата политика, провеждана от собственика, води до постоянно нарастване на дълговете. През 2015 г. активите на дружеството се оценяват на 500 млн. долара, а дълговете му – на същата сума, като до 2017 г. дължимите суми са над 260 млн. долара. На 24 май 2021 г. компанията е придобита за 220 млн. долара от чешкия оръжеен холдинг Colt CZ Group.

Colt’s Manufacturing Company

Colt’s Manufacturing Company (CMC) (Кольт Меньюфекчеринг Компани) — компания — производитель огнестрельного оружия, в том числе очень популярных американских пистолетов и револьверов под объединённым названием Кольт. Компания расположена в Хартфорде, штат Коннектикут США. Производит оружие для армейских и полицейских структур, спортивные и охотничьи ружья и винтовки. 24 мая 2021 года компания была приобретена за 220 миллионов долларов чешской оружейной холдинговой компанией Colt CZ Group. История Основанное в 1836 году Сэмюэлем Кольтом предприятие Colt’s Patent Firearms Manufacturing Company в 1842 году объявило о банкротстве и не производило револьверы в течение пяти лет, но эффективность и дизайн этого оружия стали очевидными для Техасских рейнджеров, и они сделали заказ на 1000 больших револьверов, известных в дальнейшем как Colt Walker, дав возможность компании для дальнейшего развития. Армия США на тот момент также разыскала молодого предпринимателя и заказала ещё больше револьверов. За 173 года произведено 30 млн единиц оружия С 25 января 1986 года на предприятии началась 4-летняя забастовка рабочих, что привело к потере контрактов и банкротству вплоть до 1994 года, когда компанию приобрёл новый собственник — группа Zikha. В 2002 году фирма провела реорганизацию — было выделено подразделение Colt Defense LLC, которое специализировалось на поставках оружия для силовых структур, в то время как Colt’s Manufacturing Company работала на гражданском рынке. Но в 2013 году предприятие было вынуждено заняться сокращением расходов и оптимизацией лицензионной политики, и эти компании снова были объединены под маркой Colt Defense LLC. С 2011 года государственные заказы резко сократились, но прибыль всё ещё превышала 200 млн долл. Однако в 2014 году компания потеряла контракт на поставку винтовок М4 для армии США. Кроме того, финансовая политика, проводимая собственником, привела к неуклонному росту долгов. В 2015 году объём активов компании оценивался в 500 млн долл., и в ту же сумму оценивалась её задолженность, при этом более 260 млн долл. должны были быть оплачены до 2017 года. В июне 2015 года компания объявила о банкротстве. 24 мая 2021 года компания была приобретена за 220 миллионов долларов чешской оружейной холдинговый компанией Colt CZ Group.
