Stagecoach routes went everywhere in CT, from the late 1700s to the mid 1800s. Then, trains came along. Until then, you had to contend with crowded, bumpy rides. It was the cost of doing business. But, they worked. Hear the story of this era on the podcast Amazing Tales CTSubmitted by CTHistory42 t3_ygfhq2 in Connecticut

TY. Now head out to Deep River and Ivoryton and do a series on the Ivory Trade. They carried the tusks from Deep River landing to Ivoryton in horse drawn carts.

It will be a great thing to do. Visit the Ivoryton Library; I believe they still have exhibits and in the back is the short Millrace Preserve with some history plaques also.
