Follow the ghost train! Originally an inland railroad connecting New Haven to Boston, the airline trail was blasted amongst the ridges, woodlands and valleys to transport its passengers as the shortest path to be made through the “air.” More recently, this trail is now used for recreational walks and biking with scenic views over 44Continue reading “CT: Tolland & New London- Airline Trail (Hebron & Colchester)”

What were the 1800s like in CT? Mine Hill Preserve gave me a touch of that understanding. With a pair of roasting ovens, a furnace and old mines and great markings of an old town that apparently was thriving for only about a decade.
