New Territory










On my way back from a wine presentation yesterday I saw a sign promoting Historic Talcotville. The sign is about 2 miles away from where I live and I hadn't noticed on countless previous trips. It was a beautiful day, I was excited about the future, I figured there was no time like the present to see this landmark.

Talcotville is, I guess, a roughly quarter mile village wedged between Manchester and Vernon, CT. It was home to a manufacturing mill that changed hands a few times before being owned for decades by the Talcott brothers before it went out of business in 1940. Their former mansion is located across the street, along with a church nestled aside the flowing Connecticut River.
