We have driven past this museum many times and finally had an opportunity to stop & spend time there. A volunteer spent a lot of time with us, explaining where all the rocks, crystals & quartz were from and how they were mined. There's a small gift shop & donations are gladly accepted. We were surprised to find some large quartz had come from a town we once lived in in eastern Connecticut. There is an annual festival each September. Great place for families!

This was a GREAT experience!! My husband and I rented bikes and helmets and were given a map to navigate the area route. Although, I wasn't aware of how long the route was and we were exhausted by the end - it was both exhilarating and peaceful - the landscape was gorgeous this fall. Sal was awesome in being accommodating and getting us going. Such an easy transaction and so worth the money. I hope we are able to go back again.

We normally head for Vermont and New Hampshire this time of year, but it did not work out. As an alternative we headed instead to Northwest Connecticut. This late in October it was no less spectacular then its northern counterparts. Kent Falls State Park seems to encompass all New England has to offer in the fall. The ride there on back country roads was stunning with fall colors just slightly past peak. While the park is not that large, there is no shortage of activities. The center of attention are the five falls and the trail up to the top. The trail is steep and a bit strenuous and is not for anyone with mobility or breathing issues. As you ascend there are several observation platforms allowing for better views of the falls. In addition there is a large green with benches and picnic tables,as well as a covered bridge over Kent Falls Brook, perfect for photo ops. There are bathrooms, and plenty of parking to the amount of $12 for those visiting from out of state. It is enforced! A great way to spend an afternoon.
