Bissell Bridge (Connecticut)

The Captain John Bissell Memorial Bridge carries I-291 over the Connecticut River, connecting the towns of Windsor, Connecticut and South Windsor, Connecticut. There is a pedestrian crossing on the bridge on the westbound, upstream side. History and construction of the Bridge The Bulkeley Bridge was the only bridge crossing on the Connecticut River for miles in the early 20th century. Then it was proposed in the 1930s to build two more road bridges on the river for the Wilbur Cross Highway. In 1955 the new Charter Oak Bridge, built 10 years earlier, was not helping to ease traffic on the Bulkeley Bridge. The Greater Hartford Bridge Authority was created to build this bridge and the Putnam Bridge in Glastonbury. An Interstate bypass was also planned to be built in the Hartford Area, eventually becoming I-291. The bridge and bypass opened on December 16, 1957, from I-91 to US 5. The bridge was originally called Wolcott Bridge, because of the name of the road formerly carried on it. It was renamed in 1960 to its current name. A toll was charged on the bridge until a tollbooth accident in 1983, which was one of the toll accidents that resulted in statewide removal of tollbooths in the 1980s.

Università del Connecticut

L'Università del Connecticut (in inglese University of Connecticut, abbreviata in UConn) è un'università pubblica in Connecticut, con sede a Storrs, nel comune di Mansfield. L'UConn è stata fondata nel 1881 e ospita oltre 30 000 studenti in sei campus, tra cui oltre 8 000 laureati. Sport I Connecticut Huskies comunemente conosciuti come UConn, fanno parte della NCAA Division I, e sono membri della Big East Conference dal 2020. Gli Huskies erano stati membri dell'originale Big East Conference da quando è stata costituita nel 1979 e si sono trasferiti all'American Athletic Conference quando il Big East si è diviso nel 2013. UConn si è riunito a molti dei suoi ex rivali del Big East quando ha cambiato conferenza nel 2020. Poiché l'attuale Big East Conference non gioca a football americano, UConn attualmente pratica quello sport come indipendente nella Division I FBS, il livello più alto del football americano universitario. L'athletic director è David Benedict, le partite interne di basket vengono giocate al Gampel Pavillion, ma a volte ci si sposta anche nella vicina Hartford. Pallacanestro La squadra di pallacanestro maschile dopo essere stata in perenne difficoltà nei primi anni della Big East Conference dove Georgetown e Syracuse dominavano, è riuscita a diventare un team di successo quando nel 1986 è stato assunto coach Jim Calhoun che ha trascinato gli Huskies addirittura alla vittoria di tre titoli NCAA nel 1999, 2004 e 2011. I due successori di Calhoun come capo allenatore, Kevin Ollie e Dan Hurley, allenerebbero ciascuno gli Huskies a un titolo NCAA, rispettivamente nel 2014 e nel 2023. UConn vanta anche sei titoli della Big East Conference ed un National Invitation Tournament. UConn ha avuto ancora più successo nel pallacanestro femminile. Sotto la guida dell'allenatore di origine italiana Geno Auriemma, gli Huskies hann vinto 11 campionati NCAA (1995, 2000, 2002–04, 2009, 2010, 2013–2016), completato sei stagioni imbattute (1994–95, 2001–02, 2008–09, 2009–10, 2013–14, 2015–16), è avanzato alle Final Four NCAA 22 volte, e ha avuto serie di vittorie separate di 70, 90 e 111 partite, le ultime due sono state le più lunghe nella storia della divisione I della NCAA per uomini o donne.

Black Horse Tavern (Old Saybrook, Connecticut)

The Black Horse Tavern is a historic building at 175 North Cove Road in Old Saybrook, Connecticut, built around 1712 by John Burrows. The 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame structure is one of few early 18th-century buildings still standing in Connecticut, built on land that was among the earliest settled in the area. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. Description and history The Black Horse Tavern is located near the eastern end of Saybrook Point, a peninsula dividing North and South Coves on the west side of the Connecticut River near its mouth at Long Island Sound. The tavern's location is a short distance west of the site of Fort Saybrook, the first element of the Saybrook Colony built in 1635. The tavern is a 2+1⁄2-story timber-framed structure, with a gabled roof and slightly off-center chimney. Its main facade is four bays wide, with the entrance in the center-left bay; the chimney is positioned behind the entrance. The entrance features an original vertical board door and is flanked by pilasters and topped by a half-round fanlight, sheltered by a gabled portico. The interior layout has a large front-to-back chamber to the right of the chimney, and a parlor and kitchen to the left and behind. The tavern was built about 1712 by John Burrows on land originally deeded to John Clark Sr. in 1644. The North Cove was then coming into use as a shipbuilding center, and the tavern operated by Burrows would have served its workers and travelers moving on the river. North Cove Road was then also the major road following the western shore of the river, another source of passing travelers. The building served as a tavern under a variety of owners until 1924, and it is now a private residence.

Bolton Notch State Park

Bolton Notch State Park ist ein State Park im US-Bundesstaat Connecticut auf dem Gebiet der Gemeinde Bolton. Geographie Bolton Notch State Park liegt an der Interstate 384 und wird im Süden und auf seiner Westseite vom Hop River Trail begrenzt. Entlang seiner Westseite verläuft auch der Railroad Brook, der im Bolton Notch Pond am Südwestende des Parks entspringt. In der Umgebung liegen noch weitere Parks wie der Freja-Park, der Valley Falls Park und der Hop River State Park. Der Bolton Notch Mountain mit einer Höhe von 194 m (636 ft) über dem Meer bildet die Wasserscheide für die Flüsse Hop River (Zufluss des Shetucket River, südwestlich), Blackledge River (Zufluss des Salmon River, südlich) und des Railroad Brook (entwässert über Tankerhoosen River – Hockanum River in den Connecticut River, nordwestlich). Darüber hinaus befand sich hier auch die Grenze zwischen dem Territorium der Podunk und der Mohegan. Die Mohegan benutzten die Klippe des Bolton Notch Mountain als Wachtposten. Sie nannten das Gebiet „Saqumsketuck“ (dt. etwa „Ort mit hartem Fels“). Im Park befinden sich mehrere Höhlen. Darunter auch die Squaw's Cave. Legenden berichten, dass dort um 1640 ein Europäischer Siedler mit seiner Podunk-Frau als Ausgestoßene lebten. Freizeitaktivitäten Der Park bietet es Möglichkeiten zu Wandern und Klettern und hat Anschluss an den Hop River State Park Trail und den Shenipsit Trail. Die Wanderwege im Park sind nicht markiert, werden aber von der Bolton Conservation Commission unterhalten.

Bolton Notch State Park

Bolton Notch State Park is a public, protected recreation area located at the junction of U.S. Route 44 and U.S. Route 6 in the town of Bolton, Connecticut. The site forms part of the boundary between the Thames River and Connecticut River watersheds. The state park's 95 acres (38 ha) offer opportunities for hiking, climbing, and cave exploration. History Pre-human Some 25,000 years ago all of New England, including Connecticut, was covered by the massive Laurentide Ice Sheet. Climate change forced the sheet of ice to start receding, with the last of the glacial ice disappearing from Connecticut by 10,000 years ago. Large sand dunes accumulated in this glacial period as winds picked up outwash sand forming river valleys. As the climate warmed, the modern stream and river network was soon established, such as the Connecticut River. The formation of Bolton Notch consists of schist, quartzite and gneiss, as well as the minerals biotite, muscovite, quartz, garnet and staurolite Indigenous peoples Native Americans are believed to have used the major trails crossing through Bolton Notch, which they called Saqumsketuck, for at least 10,000 years. The notch is thought to have created the boundary between the Mohegan and Podunk territories. Folklore The park grounds include Squaw's Cave, where according to legend, a Dutch cabin boy by the name of Peter Hager and his Podunk bride, Wunnee-Neetunah (US: One Nee-TUNA) lived as outcasts around the year 1640. Hager came to the New World on a ship captained by Adriaen Block, the Onrust. Modern History Prior to becoming a protected state park, the area was used for a railroad from the 1850s through the 1950s. The railroad carried both passengers and freight. A crucial use for the railroad was transporting rock from the historic Bolton Notch quarry, located east of the park. The state purchased the park's first 70 acres in 1918 in anticipation of developing a Wayside Park. Activities and amenities The park offers rock climbing and hiking as well as "several caves large enough to accommodate a human." It is crossed by both the Hop River Trail and Shenipsit Trail.

Bradford-Huntington House

The Bradford-Huntington House is a historic house at 16 Huntington Lane in the Norwichtown section of Norwich, Connecticut. The house was built in stages, beginning around 1691, and is one of the oldest to survive in the area. It was owned by American Revolutionary War officer Jabez Huntington. It is claimed that Huntington hosted George Washington here. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970. It is also a contributing property in the Norwichtown Historic District (which was listed on the National Register in 1973). Description and history The Bradford-Huntington House is located northeast of the Norwichtown green, on the west side of Huntington Lane. It stands facing south on a stone foundation, with a large brick fireplace and chimney in the middle of each of two gambrel-roofed wings. It is 2+1⁄2 stories in height, with a gambrel-roofed main section and a clapboarded exterior. The interior has many well-preserved features, including exposed chamfered summer beam, wide floorboards, and a winding staircase in the front entry vestibule. The oldest portion of the house dates to 1691 at the latest, when it was described as the "new dwelling house" of John Bradford. It was enlarged in stages by members of the Huntington family, who were early settlers of Norwich. Jabez Huntington was the owner in the late 18th century, a major general in the state militia during the American Revolutionary War. In this role, he is believed to have hosted both George Washington and the Marquis de Lafayette at his home. The house is of architectural interest for its complex construction history, exhibiting differing construction methods over time.
