Hiding in Plain Sight - Connecticut’s Stone Mile Markers
Manage episode 348524598 series 3006693
They’re there – if you can find them. Sort of like an Easter egg hunt. Stone mile markers used to be the way that horseback riders and stagecoach operators knew how far they had to go to get to the County seat. At one time, there were 600 such mile markers, all in different shapes and sizes, along CT’s dirt turnpikes. Now, there aren’t so many, and it takes some scouting to find them. Hear Elizabeth Malloy, Executive Director of the Haddam Historical Society, a town which still has 5 stone mile markers, discuss these intriguing relics of a bygone era.
