  • COVENTRY, Connecticut
    COVENTRY, Connecticut By Stephanie Summers Some 20 miles east of Hartford lies Coventry, a place Native Americans called Wangumbaug, meaning “crooked pond,” after the shape of the then-300-acre lake within its bounds. The town is probably best known as the birthplace of America’s young Revolutionary War hero Nathan Hale, who when captured as a spy against the British and facing the gallows said, “I regret that I have but one life to lose for my country.” But its claims to history are much more varied. From the Civil War to the onset of the Great Depression, its strategic waterways fed one of the highest concentrations of mills in New England, with, at the peak, 16 plants built along the Mill Brook. To this day, South Coventry Village retains its authenticity, interrupted by two small, modern-day commercial retail buildings. Used primarily by the Mohegans as a hunting ground with no signs of settlement, the land was given in a will to a group of white settlers in 1675 by Joshua, third son of the sachem Uncas. Sixteen white families, mostly from Hartford and Northampton, Mass., settled the area in 1709. It was named for Coventry, England, in 1711 and incorporated a year later. A church and grist mill were established in short order. In 2010 the U.S. Census estimated Coventry’s population at 12,428 in an area of 38.4 square miles within Tolland County. During the Revolution, the town was of a considerable size, with 2,032 white and 24 black residents. The town divided itself into two societies of sorts, connected to the two early churches.

The program included 108 rental apartments, amenities for those apartments, and 18,000 sqft of office, retail and restaurant space. The project provided enhanced connectivity between the historic district that had been created and revitalized in 1983, and the Maritime Aquarium that had been built as another component of an ur- ban revitalization project at that time. A 230 space precast parking structure is hidden from public view. The place-making aspect of this project has suc- ceeded in offering a reason to visit this district that had been trending downward. On the ground level restaurants, a juice bar and a yoga studio open to a courtyard that has become a vital new place in the community. The Architecture of the courtyard echoes the scale and character of the historic dis- trict.

  • NATHAN HALE: Patriot Spy
    NATHAN HALE: Patriot Spy Head Qrs New York Island, Sept. 22d: 1776 Parole, London Count: Great Britain “A spy from the Enemy (by his own full confession) apprehended last night, was this day Executed at 11 o’clock in front of the Artillery Park.” Official British Report on the execution of Nathan Hale Start/Finish: Nathan Hale Homestead, Coventry, Connecticut Distance: 95.8 miles Terrain: Mostly country roads with some busier sections Difficulty: Moderate with some hills In April 1775 the men in New London began melting down pewter plates to make bullets. The British had attacked Americans at Concord and Lexington and Connecticut Patriots wanted to rush to Massachusetts to join the fight. Of course, New London itself was vulnerable to British attack from Long Island Sound; locals moved cannons into town. The new schoolmaster, a 20-year-old Yale College graduate named Nathan Hale, also wanted to head north but had to complete the school year. Tall, athletic, well-mannered, and beloved by his students for what one described as his “tact and amiability,” Hale enjoyed his job and life in New London and had hoped to make a long-term career there as a teacher. But by July he sent in his letter of resignation, stating, “At present there seems to be an opportunity for more extended public service.” He joined the 7th Connecticut regiment as a lieutenant and soon found himself in Boston and then New York. Up to this point, in nearly every way except his education, Hale was like thousands of young men caught up in the American Revolution.
