Elephant's Trunk Flea Market

Reviewed By Runninl8r - Attleboro, United States

My husband and I have been coming to the Elephant’s Trunk for several years. It is one of our favorite places to visit while in Connecticut. Our first time at the flea market, we saw them taping an episode of Flea Market Flip, which was quite exciting as we are fans of the show. We have found some great items here at wonderful prices, but other times left empty-handed. It all depends on what you’re looking for. As we are coming from out of state, we can’t visit as often as we would like, so we try to plan at least a few trips per season. It makes a nice weekend trip combined with stopping at local wineries. It has become one of our favorites!!

Lovers Leap State Park

Reviewed By bobbW8335VZ - Ivor, United States

a nice spot to walk in New Milford (I grew up here- now live in Va.) - you have great views of the river gorge below, as well as take your picture on the restored lover's leap bridge, overlooking the spot tradition has it, that the Pootatuck Indian Chief Waramaug’s daughter, Princess Lillinonah, and her lover plunged to their deaths. The Chief himself died in 1735. The bridge was built in 1895 by the Berlin Iron Bridge Company. This was one of the last bridges manufactured by the company out of iron (another in town is Boardman's Bridge (not in good shape)), which had mostly been supplanted by steel as a preferred bridge building material by that time.[2] The bridge was used by both vehicles and pedestrians until 1977, and was closed to vehicular traffic after the crossing just north of the bridge was constructed.
