To this day, they still have not fixed the crowded, bumpy rides.

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.

They also used to run a lot of stage coaches through western Connecticut and down to Norwalk and other shore towns. There the passengers would board ferries for points south. Like Manhattan. This is why you see taverns along old stage coach routes. It’s also partially why you can sometimes find chunks of anthracite coal along the states beaches. Fuel for the ships, ferries, and barges plying the waters.

I hope you figure it out. I grew up in Connecticut and have always loved our history. It is one of the reasons I studied history among other subjects in college.

That’s great. I know a few folks here are fascinated by our transit networks which of course as a start in stage coach routes which also likely followed Indian trails.

I love your posts and I hope others do too. Such a great service to teach people out history.
