Colonial Connecticut







We had a visual lesson in 17th and 18th century colonial life on a volksmarch through the lovely village of Wethersfield near the Connecticut River. The homes have been under continuous occupation for over two hundred years and are a delight to see. The town vies for designation as the oldest in Connecticut. We vote it the loveliest so far.











Taking two lanes roads led us to an 18th century covered bridge that was repaired by the CCC in the 1930s.

It may seem traitorous, but the local corn is to drool for. We dined on sugar corn picked this morning and bought in Wethersfield for our dinner tonight.
