Connecticut Part
of an early Dutch settlement first explored by Adriaen Block, the area was later
controlled by English colonists throughout much of the 1700's - when Connecticut
would play a crucial role in the American Revolution as the major supplier of
arms and ammunition to the Continental Army.
Today,
along with hundreds of miles of shoreline on Long Island Sound providing opportunities
for fishing, swimming and driving
tours, the central part of the state boasts acres of natural woodlands and
inland lakes. Cultural
and historical attractions include the Yale
University Art Gallery, and a restored 19th century whaling community at Mystic
Seaport. Related
