Collis P. Huntington State Park

Collis P. Huntington State Park is a public recreation area covering 1,017 acres (412 ha) in the towns of Redding, Newtown, and Bethel in Fairfield County, Connecticut. The state park is noted for Anna Hyatt Huntington's sculptures of bears and wolves that welcome visitors at the park entrance. Her work can also be seen in the heroic sculpture of General Israel Putnam at Putnam Memorial State Park in Redding. The park bears the name of railroad magnate Collis Potter Huntington, whose heirs donated the lands to the state. The park's web of multi-use trails is open to hikers, cyclists, and equestrians. The park is managed by the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection. History Under the late 19th-century ownership of Commodore Walter Luttgen, a New York banker, industrialist and yachtsman, park-like features were added to the landscape including service roads, trails, and artificial ponds. One of Luttgen's improvements, a miniature stone lighthouse, may still be seen. The remains of a small steam paddlewheeler that once plied the ponds have not been found. Joseph E. Sterrett, a principal with the accounting firm of Price, Waterhouse, acquired the estate, including its mansion, Villa Linta, following Luttgen's death in 1922. After Villa Linta burned down, the land was purchased by Archer M. Huntington, the philanthropist stepson of industrialist Collis Potter Huntington. He and his wife Anna Hyatt Huntington changed its name to Stanerigg and moved to the estate in 1939 to pursue their various interests: she as creator of works of realistic sculpture, he as poet, Spanish scholar, and patron of the arts. The park was opened to the public following Anna Huntington's death in 1973. Geology The pegmatite in the northern part of the park was mined for mica and feldspar and contains minerals like tourmaline. Activities and amenities The park has trails for hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, and cross-country skiing. Trails include the northern section of the Aspetuck Valley Trail, which connects with the adjacent Centennial Watershed State Forest. Park ponds are available for canoeing and fishing. Archery-only deer hunting is offered from mid-September through December.

Commodore Hull School

The Commodore Hull School, now also known as the Commodore Hull School Apartments, is a former elementary school at 130 Oak Avenue in Shelton, Connecticut. It was built in 1907, and is believed to be the first school in the state built using the fireproof combination of terra cotta blocks and reinforced concrete. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. Description and history The former Commodore Hull School is located in a residential area northwest of downtown Shelton, on the west side of Oak Street. It is a two-story structure, constructed of terra cotta blocks, brick, and reinforced concrete, with a flat roof. The street-facing facade has a center entrance flanked by large panels of stuccoed concrete, in which sash windows are set on both levels. The side facades each have secondary entrances in projecting center sections, with flanking bands of windows. The building is crowned by a low parapet. The school was built in 1907, when Shelton was still part of Huntington, but growing rapidly as an urban industrial community. It is significant as an early example of the movement towards completely fireproof school building, in general stirred by the 1871 great fire of Chicago. It was designed by Meloy and Beckwith, and included what were considered the latest advances in fireproof construction. The school was named for Commodore Isaac Hull, a Huntington native who commanded USS Constitution during the War of 1812. It served as a school until 1978.

Commodore Isaac Hull Memorial Bridge

The Commodore Isaac Hull Bridge carries Connecticut Route 8 over the Housatonic River, between Shelton and Derby, in Connecticut. The bridge was constructed in 1951 for Route 8. This deck-truss bridge, originally built in 1951 and named in honor of Commodore Isaac Hull who was born in Shelton. The bridge was widened during the 1980s to accommodate increased traffic with the completion of the Route 8 Expressway. This work was completed in 1990. The deck-truss design is similar to that of the I-35W bridge in Minnesota that collapsed. Because of this, ConnDOT conducted an inspection on the Commodore Hull Bridge, and similar bridges throughout the state following the collapse. The bridge has recently been rated as "structurally deficient" and ConnDOT has completed its 2016-drafted plan. to rehabilitate the bridge's superstructure in early 2019.

Congregation B'nai Israel (Bridgeport, Connecticut)

Congregation B'nai Israel (Hebrew: בני ישראל) is a Reform Jewish congregation and synagogue located at 2710 Park Avenue, in Bridgeport, Connecticut, in the United States. It is the oldest Jewish congregation in Bridgeport and the third oldest in Connecticut. History B'nai Israel was established by a group of German Jewish immigrants as an Orthodox synagogue in 1859. The congregation's first rabbi was A. Jacobs. B'nai Israel established a Hebrew school in 1863. For its first fifty years, B'nai Israel did not have a permanent home. Its members met and prayed in one another's homes and in storefronts and lofts. In 1885, plans were made to erect a building for B'nai Israel. The building, designed by Leonard Asheim with a Craftsman–style interior, was completed in 1911, located at 1100 Park Avenue and known as the Park Avenue Temple. By 1911, when the Park Avenue Temple was completed, B'nai Israel had moved from Orthodox to Reform Judaism. Members who were unhappy with the changes left B'nai Israel and founded two of Bridgeport's other synagogues: Adath Israel (Orthodox) and Rodeph Sholom (Conservative). After World War II, B'nai Israel outgrew its building and a second structure, called the Second Park Avenue Temple, was erected, designed by the prolific synagogue architect Percival Goodman, located at 2710 Park Avenue. Goodman commissioned artist Larry Rivers to create a Torah ark cloth for the new building, but Rivers' design was ultimately rejected and his work ended up in the collection of the Jewish Museum in New York City. The former synagogue building at 1100 Park Avenue has been repurposed as a Baptist church, called the New Hope Missionary Baptist Church. This 1100 Park Avenue building was one of fifteen Connecticut synagogues added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1995 and 1996 in response to an unprecedented multiple submission, nominating nineteen synagogues. Recent history In 2002, the temple drew attention (including an article in The New York Times) after its large junior choir, directed by Cantor Sheri Blum, recorded a CD with Cantor Bruce Benson entitled The Rock Service, Featuring Cantor Bruce Benson and the Jazz Service. This album was described as combining "original rock music with liturgically accurate chants," and was reportedly in contention for a Grammy nomination. In 2009 the temple, having recently renovated and expanded its building, celebrated its 150th anniversary. As of 2009, 700 families belonged to Congregation B'nai Israel and approximately 400 students were enrolled in its religious school.

Connecticut Children's Museum

The Connecticut Children's Museum is located in the Children's Building in New Haven, Connecticut, which houses three programs interwoven in purpose and philosophy: Creating Kids Child Care Center, Creating Curriculum Child Care Provider Training Program, and the Connecticut Children's Museum itself. These programs are inspired by the theory of Multiple Intelligences which concludes that children learn in different ways. Philosophy The Children's Museum is based on the idea that children need a place where they can escape the world around them to experience the magic and wisdom of learning at their own pace by interacting with the exhibits. The exhibits are intended to foster creativity and use of the imagination. The museum provides educators, working in a myriad of programs throughout the city, with a place to bring their children to help inspire creative minds. Through its colorful exhibits, children can interact with others in the community, where they can play and learn together. References External links The Connecticut Children's Museum
