This book with its six tour routes and detailed maps will enable you to go into the field and see for yourself how past generations used the land and resources of northwestern Connecticut. You will find the traces of industries past, such as sawmilling, mining, and iron smelting. You can find the routes of early turnpike roads - some almost unaltered today - and railways. Still in place are the hydroelectric plants and water supply systems. All of these and more are explained and located in maps.
