East Haddam Congregational Church

Connecticut is full of wonderful white clapboard churches, but this is one of the best - huge beyond the current population of East Haddam, and beautifully conceived. A real gem, on a road that few drive on these days, unless you are driving from the northeast to Gillette Castle...

Nathan Hale Schoolhouse

Stopped by the Nathan Hale Schoolhouse in East Haddam, on the hill above the Goodspeed Opera House. It is the smaller and less important/impressive of the two surviving schoolhouses that hosted state hero Nathan Hale (the other is in New London). Also on the hill, the grave of General Joseph Spencer, another Revolutionary War hero.
