This web site contains information and various photos and illustrations from the Tristate area of Connecticut, Massachusetts and New York. In future additions to this site, I will include archaeological, geological and historic sites, and anything else that has caught my interest. I am particularly interested in finding sites that are "lost", ones that you read about in books, and no one knows anything about. You are welcome to e-mail me about any of these sites. Thank you for visiting.
Also, please, I am not a geneologist. I do not research family histories. I did my own and swore off it after that. Direct your geneological questions elsewhere, please.
