Camp Bethel

Camp Bethel is a historic Christian camp meeting facility at 124 Camp Bethel Road, overlooking the Connecticut River in Haddam, Connecticut. Founded in 1877, Camp Bethel is one of the few surviving camp meeting sites left in New England. It is owned by the Camp Bethel Association (CBA), a non-denominational, evangelical organization and is open to rent. The camp was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2007. Description and history Camp Bethel is located in southeastern Haddam, just north of the East Haddam Bridge over the Connecticut River. It is accessed via Camp Bethel Road, which runs north from Connecticut Route 82. It is located on a bluff overlooking the Connecticut River, surrounded by woods. The main facilities of the camp include a chapel, memorial hall, boarding houses, and a dining hall, as well as more than 40 cabins. Most of these facilities were built between 1889 and about 1920; the dining hall is the notable exception, built in 1992 after the old dining hall burned down. The camp was established in 1877 by the Life and Advent Union, a division of Seventh Day Adventism which split in 1863 (at an Adventist revival camp in Wilbraham, Massachusetts). Functioning mainly at other Adventist camps throughout New England, they located this site as a permanent base on land leased from a local farmer named Clark. It was the third revival camp established in the state, and the first known to be for an Adventist denomination. As with most camps, early revivals were held in temporary structures, mainly tents, including large ones for use as dining and worship halls. In 1964 the camp was formally renamed "Camp Bethel", and its ownership was converted to a non-denominational not-for-profit organization. It is still used as an organizing center for missionary work; its facilities are sometimes leased to other organizations.

Camp Columbia State Park/State Forest

Camp Columbia State Park/State Forest ist ein State Forest, mit einem State Park als Naherholungsgebiet, im US-Bundesstaat Connecticut auf dem Gebiet der Gemeinde Morris in Litchfield County. Das Areal war früher der landwirtschaftliche Campus der ingenieurwissenschaftlichen Fakultät der Columbia University. Der Großteil des Anwesens wurde als State Forest ausgewiesen. Ein Teil des Geländes am Ufer Bantam Lake mit den ehemaligen Universitätsgebäuden wurde als State Historic Park definiert. Geographie Der Park grenzt mit seinem nördlichen Teil, nördlich der 109 an das Südufer des Bantam Lake. Dort befindet sich der State Historic Park. Er erstreckt sich über eine Fläche von vier Hektar. Ein Landstreifen zieht sich nach Süden, wo sich südlich der 109 die größte Parzelle des State Forest mit insgesamt 239 ha (591 acre) erstreckt. Unmittelbar daneben liegt unter anderem das Camp Awosting for Boys. Weiter nördlich am Seeufer des Bantam Lake liegt der No Mans Land Swamp. Das Gebiet liegt auf ca. 300 m über dem Meer. Der nächstgelegene Stat Park ist der Mount Tom State Park, ca. 5 km weiter westlich. Große Gebiete in direkter Umgebung sind Schutzgebiete der White Memorial Foundation. Geschichte Das Gebiet war bis 1903 hauptsächlich landwirtschaftliche Fläche. Dann wurde es von der Columbia University erworben, um den Geodäsie-Studenten in den Ferien die Möglichkeit zu praktischen Feldversuchen zu geben. Daraufhin wurde das Camp bis 1983 genutzt. Während des Zweiten Weltkriegs wurden auf dem Gelände Militärertüchtigungsübungen für Studenten abgehalten, die sich für die Offizierslaufbahn vorbereiteten. Zu den militärischen Übungen gehörten Kampfübungen mit echter Munition und das Graben von Schützengräben. Überreste dieser Gräben lassen sich noch heute ausmachen. Zu den berühmten Persönlichkeiten, die das Gelände besuchten, gehört Dwight D. Eisenhower, der wohl auch als Jagdgast da war. 2000 erwarb der State of Connecticut das Land von der Universität und erklärte es 2004 zum Camp Columbia State Forest and State Historic Park. Freizeitaktivitäten Im Park gibt es über 5 km (3 mile) Wanderwege und Mountainbikefahren, Crosscountry-Skilaufen und Schneeschuhlaufen sind erlaubt. Darüber hinaus bieten sich gute Gelegenheiten zur Vogelbeobachtung, und auch Jagen ist im Gelände des State Forest erlaubt.

Campbell Falls State Park Reserve

Campbell Falls State Park Reserve ist ein State Park im US-Bundesstaat Connecticut auf dem Gebiet der Gemeinde Norfolk. Er erstreckt sich in einem Abschnitt auch auf das Gebiet von Massachusetts. Ein Markstein kennzeichnet die Grenze zwischen den beiden Staaten. 1924 wurde eigens ein Gesetz geschaffen, um die Parkverwaltung zu regeln. Der Park wurde nicht erschlossen, es gibt allerdings einen Wanderpfad zu den namengebenden Wasserfällen am Whiting River, die nördlich der Grenze beinahe 30 m (100 ft) in die Tiefe rauschen. Der Park wurde 1923 aus Mitteln der White Memorial Foundation errichtet. Die vorherrschenden geologischen Formen sind Granit und Gneis sowie Teile der Dalton Formation. In den Eiszeiten wurden große Massen an Schotter antransportiert. Unterhalb der Wasserfälle mündet der Ginger Creek von links und Süden kommend in den Whiting River, der von dort aus zunächst eine Schleife nach Norden macht, bevor er sich nach Süden wendet und in den Blackberry River mündet.

Castillo Craig

El castillo Craig es un fortín localizado en el pico oriental de las colinas colgantes, en Connecticut, Estados Unidos.​​​​ Es una de las edificaciones más reconocidas de Connecticut.​ Historia El castillo Craig fue inaugurado el 29 de octubre de 1900 y donado a los habitantes de Meriden, Connecticut, por Walter Hubbard.​​​ Está construido con piedras naturales.​​ Una escalera interior de metal se utiliza para subir a la plataforma de observación en la parte superior. Se encuentra a 976 pies sobre el nivel del mar y ofrece una visión amplia de la ciudad de Meriden (Connecticut).​​ La inspiración para el diseño de la torre ha sido cuestionada durante años. Algunos dicen que Walter Hubbard, un viajero del mundo, se inspiró en una torre francesa llamada Norman, otros por una torre del siglo XII localizada en el Danubio, y otros sostienen que fue modelada por una antigua torre en Craigellachie, Escocia.​ En el castillo se encuentra una placa con informaciones sobre su origen, año de construcción, entre otros. Aunque la placa indica que el pico del este es el punto más alto dentro de 25 millas (40 kilómetros) de la costa de Maine a Florida», West Peak, sólo 2000 pies al oeste son superiores a los dos picos del este y la torre.​ Referencias
Cathedral of Saint Patrick (Norwich, Connecticut)

The Cathedral of Saint Patrick is a cathedral of the Roman Catholic Church located in Norwich, Connecticut., in the United States. It is the mother church of the Diocese of Norwich and is the seat of its prelate bishop. Parish history St. Mary's Church The first Catholic Church in the Norwich area of coastal Connecticut was St. Mary's Church in Norwich. At that time, all of the Catholics in New England were under the jurisdiction of the Diocese of Boston. The diocese in 1833 sent the priest James Fitton to Norwich to establish a parish for the Irish immigrants work in the local textile mills. Fitton celebrated the first mass in Norwich in a third floor loft with 12 people in attendance. By 1842, Fitton was using a shed in Twomeytown for services. In November 1843, the Vatican erected the Diocese of Hartford, with jurisdiction for all of Connecticut and Rhode Island. Fitton in September 1844 purchased a lot in the center of Norwich to build a church. St. Mary's was dedicated in March 1845. By the late 1860s, St. Mary's was becoming overcrowded. The pastor, James Mullen, decided to build a new church near a wealthy section of town so as to be accessible to the numerous Irish immigrants working there as servants. He hire the architect James Murphy of Providence, Rhode Island to design new church, which would be called St. Patrick's. In April 1873, a group of Irish laborers arrived at the project site and dug the church foundation, using picks and shovels."The cornerstone of the church was laid in July 1873; parishioners paid ten cents a week to finance the church construction. St. Patrick's Church St. Patrick's Parish was incorporated in 1878 and its church was dedicated on September 28, 1879. St. Mary's Church closed later that year. During 1938 New England hurricane.that ravaged Connecticut and Rhode Island, St. Patrick's Church suffered some damage. Cathedral of St. Patrick In 1953, Pope Pius XII erected the Diocese of Norwich and designated St. Patrick's Church as the Cathedral of St. Patrick. A major renovation of the Cathedral of St. Patrick commenced in 2010. The diocese added new murals and decorations to the interior of the cathedral. The lighting system was also modernized. The project was finished in 2013.The diocese in March 2026 began a project to disassemble the two bell towers, then rebuild them using the same stone.
