Here are some pictures of the area in Connecticut I grew up in. I took all of these pictures last week.
This is some scenes of what was my grandparents farm and were I pretty much grew up. I spent my summers and school vacations working the farm from the time I was old enough to walk. On the weeks and months I was there it was wake up at daylight and go to bed at sunset. There was always some field work to do. Planting, plowing, weeding, milking cows, etc. When I was a kid all of this was open fields and either gardens or pasture or fruit orchards. My Grandparents have died many years ago and my cousins now live on the farm, they have built houses and no longer farm it. But, walking around brought back many old memories. the old farm house is now long gone. But here is where I grew up.
These old stone walls were all handmade over several generations, The farmers would use the stones cleared from the fields and pile them up making the wall. Connecticut is very rocky and every time you plow there are more rocks. This particular wall my grandfather started, then his kids and then my generation. I put many rocks on that wall. there are sever miles of stone wall scattered throughout the old farm. Some were already over 200 years old when My grandparents came to the US.
Here are some of the old pastures and gardens:
This used to be my favorite hill to sit on and just relax watching the clouds. One of my cousins dug up all the sand and rocks to use for making the concrete he used to build the foundation of his house and driveway.
This buildings are a couple miles from the farm, they were houses for early factory workers. The were built in the late 1700s CE. The house I actually grew up was of the same type and built at the same time.
This is one of the oldest factories in the US. the workers for it lived in those houses. I really don't know what it made . I believe it was Barrels and wagon wheels. In 1854 it started making Drums and still makes them.
This is just some scenery around the area, all are within 10 miles of the old farm.

These pictures are in Winsted Connecticut. About 10 miles from the Farm. the old factory buildings were textile mills built in the early 1800s. In 1955 Connecticut had a huge flood and those buildings were underwater. the outside walls held up, but the interior is destroyed. they have been vacant ever since.
