Quirky Characters, Roadside Oddities & Other Offbeat Stuff
Revised & Updated Third Edition
Connecticut Curiosities describes, with humor and affection — and a healthy dose of attitude — the wildest, wackiest, most outrageous people, places, and things the Nutmeg State has to offer! Whether you're a born-and-raised Connecticut resident, a recent transplant, or just passing through, Connecticut Curiosities will have you laughing out loud as it takes you on a rollicking tour of the strangest sides of the Nutmeg State.
Discover the Village of the Damned, the rapids of Satan's Kingdom, and where Alfred Hitchcock staged a murder pact. Check out the view from inside a sperm whale's mouth, from deep inside a corn maze, and from a flying Statue of Liberty head. Meet a starlet-turned-nun who once boogied alongside Elvis, the Hartford dentist who discovered modern anesthesia, and the flagman of Long Wharf. Plus much, much more!
Part zany Connecticut guidebook and part Who's Who of odd and unsung heroes, this compendium of the state's quirks and characters will amuse Connecticut residents and visitors alike.
