Kent, Connecticut

Beautiful Kent, is located in Litchfield County, Connecticut. In Kent, there are several places to visit. Today, we chose to have a picnic at Kent Falls State Park. But, the admission was too high($15) to park, so we decided to go somewhere else. We ended up at Macedonia Brook State Park...and it was gorgious. The family had a great time, so did I. Macedonia State Park first opened in 1918 on 1,552 acres. Now, it has grown to a wopping 2,300 acres. This park is nestled after the Catskill and Taconic Mountains, and this area is the southern beginning of the Berkshire Plateau leading upto the Green Mountains of Vermont.

Then, we stopped at Bulls Bridge, one of three covered bridges in Connecticut, still in exsistence that were built in the 19th-century. Historically, George Washington crossed the Housitonic near Bulls Bridge in 1781. However, the bridge was built in 1842 out of timber. Covered bridges were covered because they were made out of wood, to slow down the rotting of the timber. Bulls Bridge was placed on the National Register of Historical Places in 1979.

Kent is an artists town, next visit to Kent will include: Kent Falls State Park, and a walk through Kent. But, please enjoy these pictures, as much as I enjoyed taking them.
