Curtis Memorial Library

The Curtis Memorial Library, now the Augusta Curtis Cultural Center, is a historic former library building at 175 East Main Street in Meriden, Connecticut. It was designed by New Haven architect Richard Williams in the Classical Revival style, and was completed in 1903. The building was a gift to the city from Augusta Munson Curtis in honor of her husband George, who was one of the city's leading businessmen and onetime mayor. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981. Description and history The Curtis Cultural Center is located in the historic civic center of Meriden, set on a knoll at the southeast corner of East Main and Pleasant Streets. It is a two-story masonry structure, built out of white Vermont marble. It presents as a single-story structure, with the second floor only evident due to a high parapet above the main cornice. A copper dome is placed at the center of the cruciform structure. The front projection houses the main entrance, which is deeply recessed in an opening that has flanking pilasters and two fluted Ionic columns set in antis. The interior retains many original features, including mosaic tile flooring, a red marble fireplace, and Corinthian columns supporting the dome. Meriden's first library was established in 1898 by the Thursday Morning Club, an association of local women, and was kept in a private home. In 1900 August Munson Curtis offered to buy land and fund construction of a dedicated building. This building was completed in 1903, and was dedicated in honor of Curtis' daughter Agnes and husband George; he was a prominent industrial executive and also served as mayor of the city. The building remained in use as a library until 1974, when new facility was opened on Miller Street. This building was then repurposed by the city as an arts and cultural center, named in honor of its benefactor.

Cypress Cemetery

Cypress Cemetery is an historic cemetery at 100 College Street in Old Saybrook, Connecticut. Established sometime in the 17th century, and still in active use, it is the town's oldest cemetery, with a wide variety of funerary art dating from the 17th to 21st centuries. The cemetery's oldest portion was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2018. Description and history Cypress Cemetery is located on Saybrook Point, southeast of the town center, on the south side of College Street. College Street is the main road on the point, which extends easterly to the Connecticut River, and is bounded by North Cove and South Cove. The eastern end of Saybrook Point is where the English Saybrook Colony was founded in 1635. While it is believed that the cemetery may have been laid out by the colony's founder, Lion Gardiner not long after the colony's establishment, there is no evidence to support the idea. The oldest documented burial sites in the cemetery date to 1679, and the cemetery continues to be actively used for burials. The cemetery is roughly rectangular, and occupies about 6 acres (2.4 ha). The street-facing edge is lined by a cast-iron fence, with gates for vehicular and pedestrian access. The older portion of the cemetery is about 3.5 acres (1.4 ha) in size and contains stones dating back to the 17th century. The yard contains a great variety of colonial gravestone carvers including those from Middletown, Boston, Newport, East Haddam, Durham, Windsor, Middlefield, Windham, and New London. The burial ground does not have a discernible organizing pattern – plots are laid out without particular regard to orientation or any formally laid out paths. The funerary monuments represent an artistic cross-section of New England colonial funerary practices, including examples of Boston stone cutters of the 17th and 18th century whose work is rarely found in Connecticut. Anna Louise James is among those buried there, as is Lady Alice Fenwick (the first wife of George Fenwick).

Danbury Ice Arena

The Danbury Ice Arena is a multi-purpose indoor arena in Danbury, Connecticut. It was built in 1999 with renovation and expansion in 2004, and has a seating capacity of about 3,000. The Danbury Arena was the home of the Danbury Trashers of the United Hockey League from 2004 to 2006. In 2008, the Danbury Mad Hatters of the Eastern Professional Hockey League signed a lease with the arena and played one season before the league folded. On December 27, 2009, the newly formed Federal Hockey League (FHL) announced that the Danbury Arena would be home to the Danbury Whalers. On April 3, 2015, the Danbury Ice Arena did not want to renew their contract with the Danbury Whalers and gave them a notice to evict by April 17, leaving the last remaining team from the inaugural FHL season homeless. After initially announcing the Stateline Whalers to begin playing in nearby Brewster, New York, the Whalers organization was dissolved and a new group started the Danbury Titans in the FHL to play the 2015–16 season. The Titans also ceased operations in 2017. In 2019, the Hall family, who had owned the arena for 18 years, sold the arena to Diamond Properties. The new management, with Herm Sorcher from the previous FHL organizations acting as managing director, brought in three new tenants for the 2019–20 season: the Connecticut Whale of the Premier Hockey Federation, the Danbury Colonials of the junior North American 3 Hockey League, and another FHL (since rebranded as Federal Prospects Hockey League) team in the Danbury Hat Tricks.

Darling House Museum

The Darling House Museum is a historic house museum at 1907 Litchfield Turnpike CT 69 in Woodbridge, Connecticut, and is owned and operated by the Amity & Woodbridge Historical Society. The house is open by appointment and during special events. In the early 1770s, Thomas Darling hired Abiel Gray of West Hartford, Connecticut, to build a new home in Amity Parish, outside of New Haven. Gray took two years (1772–1774) to finish the project. The house has a gambrel roof, is built on a central hall plan and has some unusual features. Paneling and woodwork in the hallway and front rooms are richly detailed under 9-foot, 3-inch ceilings. The influence of 18th-century New York is suggested by the imported tiles of Biblical scenes over one fireplace. Much of the furniture and many items in the home were owned by the Darling family, which owned the house and surrounding land until 1973, when the property was sold to the town of Woodbridge and the Amity & Woodbridge Historical Society began caring for the structure. The property includes a large 18th-century barn, a 19th-century horse barn, a carriage shed, a chicken coop, a pig house, and a 19th-century privy. The town maintains several fields near the house, and some easy walking trails skirt the base of West Rock. The Society has a large collection of farm implements on display in the horse barn. Quilts, linens, and period clothing are also displayed in the house.

Day House (Hartford, Connecticut)

The Katharine Seymour Day House is a historic house at 77 Forest Street in the historic Nook Farm district of Hartford, Connecticut. Built in 1884 for a local businessman seeking to compete stylistically with the adjacent Mark Twain House, it is a good local example of Queen Anne architecture. It now serves as the administrative center and library for the Harriet Beecher Stowe Center. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971. Description and history The Katharine Seymour Day House is located in the Nook Farm area of Hartford's Asylum Hill neighborhood, at the southwest corner of Farmington Avenue and Forest Street. It is just east of the Mark Twain House, and north of the Harriet Beecher Stowe House. The house is a 2+1⁄2-story stone structure, built out of a multicolored combination of brownstone and limestone. It is a fine local example of Queen Anne Victorian architecture, with a busy exterior in terms of color and organization, with projecting gables, dormers and porches. The interior features high quality woodwork, plasterwork and tile. The house was designed by Francis H. Kimball and was built for Franklin Chamberlin; the project was completed in 1884. Chamberlin is believed to have built the house as a rival to the adjacent Mark Twain House; he had previously sold the adjacent land to Mark Twain on which his house was built. The house was later owned by Willie Olcott Burr, publisher of The Hartford Times newspaper. It was purchased by Harriet Beecher Stowe's grandniece Katharine Seymour Day in 1940, as part of a plan to preserve the surroundings of the Stowe House (which was also originally built for Chamberlin). Day established the Harriet Beecher Stowe Center in 1941 as a nonprofit vehicle to preserve Stowe's legacy. The house now houses the center's administrative offices, and a research library containing many of Stowe's materials.

Day Pond State Park

Day Pond State Park is a public recreation area covering 180 acres (73 ha) in the town of Colchester, Connecticut. The state park abuts Salmon River State Forest and is managed by the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection. The park offers opportunities for hiking, swimming, shoreline fishing, picnicking and mountain biking. History Foundation stones and the park's pond are the few remaining signs of the pioneering Day family, who built the pond to provide waterpower to operate the family sawmill. The land became a state park in 1949. Activities and amenities The park is designated for trout management and offers shoreline fishing on Day Pond. The pond covers about 7 acres (2.8 ha) and reaches a depth of a little over 10 feet (3.0 m). Park trails connect with approximately five miles of trails in the adjoining state forest. Day Pond Brook Falls A multi-drop waterfall can be found along Day Pond Brook, dropping a total height of 40 feet (12 meters). The falls were once not well known and could not be accessed without bushwhacking. But in 2010, a spur trail was created by a Boy Scout to provide easier access to the falls for the public.

Deep River Freight Station

The Deep River Freight Station is a historic railroad depot at 152 River Street in Deep River, Connecticut. Built in 1915 by the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad (NYNH&H), it is one of two surviving early 20th century stations on the southern end of the former Connecticut Valley Railroad (CVR) line. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 21, 1994. It is now a station on the Valley Railroad, a heritage steam railroad. Description and history The Deep River Freight Station is located in eastern Deep River, between River Street and the former CVR railroad tracks, which run parallel to the Connecticut River. It is a single-story wood frame structure, about 25 by 40 feet (7.6 m × 12.2 m). It is mounted on brownstone piers, which support massive wooden sills. Original period loading docks are on the buildings north and south side, and the building has a low-pitch roof with wide eaves supported by large brackets. The station was built about 1915 by the NYNH&H, as part of a government-mandated program to update railroad infrastructure. The station was originally built to serve both passengers and freight. Passenger service on the line was decimated by competition from the automobile, and ended in 1933. Freight service continued until 1961, when the NYNH&H went bankrupt. A portion of the CVR track was revived as a heritage railroad in 1971.

Derby–Shelton Bridge

The Derby–Shelton Bridge is a road crossing over the Housatonic River in the U.S. state of Connecticut, connecting the cities of Derby and Shelton. It connects Route 34 in downtown Derby with Route 110 in downtown Shelton. The bridge and approaches are designated but not signed as SR 712. The current bridge (number 01659) was built in 1918 by the Connecticut State Highway Department to replace a former steel-arch bridge built in 1891 known as the Huntington Bridge. Prior to that, an even older wooden covered bridge (built in 1857) was at this site. The Derby–Shelton Bridge used to carry two street railway tracks until the 1930s. Highway designation State Road 712 (SR 712) is a state highway in Shelton, Connecticut. The route is 0.24 miles (0.39 km) long and is also known as Bridge Street. It connects Route 110 to Route 34 across the Housatonic River by the Derby–Shelton Bridge. SR 712 is the primary crossing of the Housatonic River in the Naugatuck Valley and the route presently includes wide shoulders. Prior to the opening of the Commodore Hull Bridge in 1951, SR 712 was part of the former alignment of Route 8 between Shelton and Derby. Road improvements In 2018, the $4.3 million Connecticut state project No. 126-174 was released for public comment. The primary goal of the project is to enable improve cyclist and pedestrian access between the Derby Greenway and Shelton's Veteran's Park. This project was initiated in response to a pedestrian vs automobile accident in 2011. The proposed improvements include the following: Replace the sidewalk area on the south side of the bridge with a wider sidewalk for a pedestrian plaza and public space to include planter boxes, bi-directional cycle track, and pedestrian sidewalk. Replace the sidewalk on the north side of the bridge with a narrower sidewalk. Reconstruct the existing roadway with similar bituminous surface and concrete base. Reconstruct the bridge concrete parapet and pilasters to be similar to the existing historic design and finish and meet standard heights and vehicular collision criteria, along with decorative railing similar to Veteran's Park. Replacement of the existing "Cobra" style lighting, with decorative period light fixtures that meet dark-sky standards. Provide decorative accent lighting on the bridge. References
Devil’s Hopyard State Park

Devil’s Hopyard State Park ist ein State Park auf dem Gebiet von East Haddam, Connecticut mit den Chapman Falls am Eightmile River. Der Park umfasst ca. 405 ha und bietet Möglichkeiten zum Wandern, Angeln, Radfahren, Vögel beobachten, Picknicken, Campen und Jugendcamping. Name Vor 1800 gab es am Eightmile River eine Mälzerei am Malt House Brook auf der Farm von George Griffin. Noch vor 1814 wurde die Mälzerei aufgegeben. Bis dahin gab es wohl auch einen kleinen Hopfenanbau. Möglicherweise wurde aus dem – nicht nachweisbaren – Namen „Dibble“ eines Landbesitzers ein „Devil“ gemacht. Eine andere Version behauptet, dass es sich bei den sogenannten „Potholes“, kreisrunden Erosioanslöcher in den Gesteinsschichten im Fluss, um Abdrücke von den Hufen des Teufels handelt. Auf Informationstafeln im Park wird über die zugehörigen Legenden berichtet. Geschichte 1775 griffen die Sons of Liberty eine Mühle an, die von pro-Britischen Loyalisten an dieser Stelle betrieben wurde. Einen Teil des zerbrochenen Mühlsteins fand man 2002 am Fuße der Wasserfälle. Die Wasserfälle des Parks trieben bis in die 1890er Jahre „Beebe's Mills“ (benannt nach dem Besitzer) an. Das Gebiet wurde 1919 erworben um der Abholzung in der Region zu begegnen. Am 26. März 2012 ereignete sich ein großer Waldbrand. Feuerwehren aus 14 Städten kämpften gegen das Feuer an. Mehr als 20 ha Wald wurden vernichtet. Brandursache gaben möglicherweise Wanderer. Sehenswürdigkeiten Die wichtigste Sehenswürdigkeit sind die Chapman Falls, die über 18 m tief über ganze Lagen von Glimmerschiefer stürzen. Dieses Gestein gehört zur New Scotland Formation. Vista Point am Ende des blauen Wanderweges ist eine Klippe, die bis zu 53 m über dem Eightmile River aufragt. Darüber hinaus gibt es noch die mini falls und drei historische Brücken, die in das National Register of Historic Places aufgenommen wurden. Natur Der Park ist Rückzugsgebiet für eine ganze Reihe an Tieren, Hirsche, verschiedene Amphibien, Schildkröten, Fische, fisher und viele geschützte Vogelarten. Der Muddy Brook ist ein rechter und östlicher Zufluss des Eightmile river.
