  • Connecticut State Parks System
    A Centennial Overview 1913-2013 www.ct.gov/deep/stateparks A State Park Centennial Message from Energy and Environmental Protection Commissioner Robert J. Klee Dear Friends, This year, we are celebrating the Centennial of the Connecticut State Parks system. Marking the 100th anniversary of our parks is a fitting way to pay tribute to past conservation-minded leaders of our state, who had the foresight to begin setting aside important and scenic lands for public access and enjoyment. It is also a perfect moment to commit ourselves to the future of our park system – and to providing first-class outdoor recreation opportunities for our residents and visitors well into the future. Our park system had humble beginnings. A six-member State Park Commission was formed by then Governor Simeon Baldwin in 1913. One year later the Commission purchased its first land, about four acres in Westport for what would become Sherwood Island State Park. Today, thanks to the dedication and commitment of many who have worked in the state park system over the last century, Connecticut boasts a park system of which we can all be proud. This system includes 107 locations, meaning there is a park close to home no matter where you live. Our parks cover more than 32,500 acres and now host more than eight million visitors a year – and have hosted a remarkable total of more than 450 million visitors since we first began counting in 1919. Looking beyond the statistics, our parks offer fantastic opportunities for families to spend time outdoors together. They feature swimming, boating, hiking, picnicking, camping, fishing – or simply the chance to enjoy the world of nature.

Clarke Company, 1906) Existing bridges are identified by New Hampshire Department of Transportation bridge coordinates, as “042/044.” [Bridges described in italics had disappeared by 1906.] 1. Hinsdale to Brattleboro, Vermont. The first bridge was built in 1804 by the Hinsdale Bridge and Sixth New Hampshire Turnpike Corporation, chartered in 1802. Frederick J. Wood in his The Turnpikes of New England (1919) says that this company “appears to have been primarily a toll-bridge corporation, although it had authority to build about ten miles of turnpike through Hinsdale and Winchester to connect with a branch of the Fifth Massachusetts [Turnpike] which was built to the state line prior to 1806.” The Hinsdale Bridge was apparently replaced several times. Hinsdale, New Hampshire (Hinsdale, N.H.: Bicentennial Committee [1976]) says that bridges here have “been carried away, by floods and ice, on the average of once in every ten years.” The corporate name was shortened to “Hinsdale Bridge Corporation” in 1853, probably reflecting the relinquishment of any turnpike road the corporation had built.

I am honored and poised to lead our town in these challenging times. Economy and Budget The results of this past election communicate clearly that you want us to maintain the course we set out on a bit over two years ago to maintain a steady tax rate and a watchful eye on the budget. Frankly, the state’s budget problems are of great concern to me. Why? Instead of making the tough choices to reduce the size of state government they are passing their problems down to the towns by cutting municipal aide that they had committed to us at the beginning of the budget cycle. In effect, the state is changing the rules AFTER we set our local us with a wide range of experience in municipal accounting budget based on their funding commitment for this fiscal year. and public administration. I am sure that she will be an asset I challenge our representatives and the Governor to do as to the East Haddam team and we all look forward to working we have done here in East Haddam; reduce the size of with her. government and live within its means.
