Colt's Manufacturing Company, LLC (CMC, tidigare Colt's Patent Firearms Manufacturing Company) är en amerikansk vapenfabrikant, grundad 1855 av Samuel Colt. Historik Redan 1842 såg det mörkt ut för företaget och de tvingades stänga sin fabrik Patent Arms Manufacturing i Paterson, New Jersey. Men när det Mexikanska kriget började, letade en armékapten, Samuel H. Walker, upp Colt och tog tillsammans med honom fram en ny och mer kraftfull revolvermodell. Inom en vecka beställde den amerikanska regeringen över 1 000 exemplar och i mitten av 1847 var ordern färdiglevererad. Colt var nu tillbaka på marknaden och sedan hände följande: 1851 - Sam Colt blev den förste amerikanen att öppna en fabrik i England. När inbördeskriget bröt ut försåg Colt endast Unionens armé med vapen. 1867 - Gatlingkulsprutan börjar tillverkas. 1901 - Colt gick ur familjens ägo. 1955 - Colt köps upp av Penn-Texas Corporation på grund av ekonomiska problem. 1988 - Colt förlorar kontraktet på M16-gevären. 1990 - Man byter namn till Colt's Manufacturing Company. 1994 - Tillverkningen flyttas från Hartford till West Hartford. 1997 - Colt får kontrakt på att tillverka 6 000 M4-automatkarbiner åt amerikanska regeringen Revolvrar Kollektion på Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (urval).

Shaw Mansion (New London, Connecticut)

The Shaw Mansion, also known as the Shaw-Perkins Mansion and as the Shaw Mansion Museum, is a historic mansion and house museum at 11 Blinman Street between Bank and Brewer Streets in New London, Connecticut. Built in 1756 for Nathaniel Shaw Sr., it is a well-preserved example of a wealthy merchant's house, made further notable as the location of the state's naval offices during the American Revolutionary War. The headquarters and museum of the New London County Historical Society have been located in the Shaw Mansion since 1907. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1970. Description and history The Shaw Mansion stands overlooking New London's southern downtown waterfront, on the north side of Blinman Street at Bank Street. It is a large three-story granite structure, whose main block is six bays wide, with a single-story porch extending across its width. A three-story granite wing extends the main block to the right at a recess. The interior follows a central hall plan, with a two-stage staircase in the central hall that has a fine mahogany banister and balustrade. The house was built in 1756 for Nathaniel Shaw Sr. with the labor of Acadians who had been brought to New London as refugees from the English Expulsion of the Acadians from Nova Scotia furing the French and Indian Wars. Nathaniel Jr. was appointed Connecticut's Naval War Agent; at the time, the state had its own navy, but far more effective and lucrative was privateering, the capturing of enemy ships by private individuals. New Londoners captured 155 prize ships during the war, which was one of the reasons behind Benedict Arnold's attack in the Battle of Groton Heights, and the burning of New London. The house caught fire, but local legend has it that the fire was put out by a neighbor using vinegar. The neighbor's house – which is no longer extant – came to be called the "vinegar house". However it happened, the house survived the fires, suffering only the loss of a wood-frame annex, which was afterwards rebuilt in granite in 1840. The single-story porch across the front was added in the mid-19th century. Nathaniel Jr. died in a hunting accident in 1792, and the house passed to the Perkins family through the marriage of Shaw's niece. The house remained in the Shaw family until 1907, when it was acquired by the New London Historical Society – although members of the Shaw family continued to live in the house even after the purchase. The society was founded in 1870. The house is now operated as a museum and is the repository of antiques and its extensive research library.

Shenipsit State Forest

Shenipsit State Forest is a state forest located in northeastern Connecticut with 11 parcels scattered between the towns of Somers, Ellington, and Stafford. The forest's headquarters is home to the Civilian Conservation Corps Museum, which houses memorabilia from CCC camps throughout the eastern United States. The forest is managed for forestry products and offers various recreational pursuits. Geography The forest is located mainly within the Eastern New England Uplift and contains tracts along the eastern edge of the Connecticut River Valley. The highest point wholly within the state forest is Soapstone Mountain at 1,075 feet (328 m), but the Town of Somers owns adjacent land that includes the 1,121 feet (342 m) summit of Bald Mountain, the highest point along the eastern edge of Connecticut River Valley in Connecticut. The terrain rises up to 800 feet (240 m) from the surrounding Connecticut River Valley, though most mountains and hills rise 300–500 feet (91–152 m) from the surrounding terrain elsewhere in the forest. The forest floor is scattered with boulders and large rocks from the last ice age. Soapstone Mountain used to be the site of a soapstone quarry during the Colonial era. Recreation opportunities The Shenipsit Trail, which runs 40 miles (64 km) from East Hampton to Somers, passes through the Shenipsit State Forest and passes over the summit of Soapstone Mountain. The summit has the only lookout tower in northeastern Connecticut. The original fire tower was removed in 1971. Various forest trails can be used for hiking, mountain biking, equestrian travel, and cross-country skiing.

Shepaug Valley School

Shepaug Valley School (SVS) is a seven-year (grades 6–12) public, coeducational middle and high school in Washington, Connecticut. Shepaug Valley School is the only public secondary school of Regional School District 12, which serves Washington, Bridgewater, and Roxbury. It was formerly two separate schools, Shepaug Valley Middle School (SVMS) and Shepaug Valley High School (SVHS). It was chosen as Connecticut's only public high school to receive the blue-ribbon school in 1998, and one of two in New England. History Prior to 2000 the school received block scheduling. In 2012 the superintendent of the school district, Patricia Cosentino, wanted to establish a "flexible schedule" (using elements of both block and traditional scheduling) regime for both the middle and high schools, and therefore end block scheduling for high school students. The high school parent council opposed the plan. In 2012 there were about 320 students in the high school, and the enrollment was decreasing. 10 years later in 2022, there has been a continued decline in the amount of attendees at the institution, with a total enrollment of 434 students across grades 6–12. Ground plan Shepaug is a one-floor building housed on an 80-acre (320,000 m2) campus. Since the space is shared with students of Shepaug Valley Middle School, who have their own wing in the building, high school students take academic courses in their own section of the building, a long hallway off of which classrooms branch. The rest of the building is shared between middle and high school students. It consists of a cafeteria, a large, central cavity known as "the mall", a library resource center with more than 10,000 print volumes, gymnasium, planetarium, swimming pool, band and choir practice rooms, fine arts, auto, and woodworking shops, and a professionally equipped theatre. Outdoors on campus, there is a peace pole and reflection area, a swing-set, a pond, and a memorial to former student Tam Farrow. Shepaug also hosts soccer and field hockey fields, a competitive cross country trail, and a track that was recently under renovation. Athletics Notable alumni Stephen C.

Silver Sands State Park

Silver Sands State Park ist ein State Park im US-Bundesstaat Connecticut auf dem Gebiet der Gemeinde Milford. Er besteht aus 120 ha (297 acre) aus Strand, Dünenlandschaft, Salzmarschen, Wiesen und Wäldern. Der Park bietet Möglichkeiten zum Schwimmen im Long Island Sound, Picknicken, Wandern, und zur Vogelbeobachtung. In diesem Gebiet befindet sich auch das Vogelschutzgebiet Charles Island mit 5,7 ha. Es gibt Gerüchte, dass auch der Schatz von Captain Kidd dort versteckt sein soll. An den Park schließt sich das städtische Schutzgebiet Walnut Beach an. Der Haupteingang befindet sich an der Meadowside Road in Milford. Geschichte Das Gebiet wurde nach dem Hurrikan Diane erworben. Der Sturm hatte 1955 75 Häuser in dem Gebiet zerstört. Zum Gebiet gehören auch die Priele von Fletcher's Creek und Nettleton Creek. Bis 1977 bestand dort eine Müllhalde. Bodenanalysen ergaben dementsprechend Verschmutzungen mit Schwermetallen. 1997 wurde ein Projekt gestartet, um die Feuchtgebiete der Küste zu renaturieren. Der Park wurde nach Plänen erneuert, die bereits 1990 von dem Architekten Alfredo De Vido vorgelegt wurden. 2000 wurde das Programm abgeschlossen. Beschreibung Bei Niedrigwasser können Besucher auf dem Tombolo nach Charles Island wandern. Das bewaldete Innere der Insel steht unter Schutz für verschiedene Reiherkolonien. Hier befinden sich einige der größten kolonien des Bundesstaats. Die Ruinen einer katholischen Klause aus den 1920er Jahren befinden sich noch immer auf der Insel. Ein Bohlenweg mit Geländer führt vom Parkplatz bis zum Strand und läuft dort weiter. In den Salzmarschen kann man noch die Überreste der Gebäude erkennen, die vom Hurrikan zerstört wurden. Darüber hinaus gibt es einen alten Pfad, der von Ost nach West den Park durchzieht. Der Park ist ein beliebter Platz um Vögel zu beobachten. die häufigsten sind Seeschwalben, die an der Küste Futter suchen. Darüber hinaus ist der Park auch ein Überwinterungsgebiet für Raubvögel wie Raufußbussard, Schneeeule und Sumpfohreule.
