81. Pleasure Beach

Once upon a time this was a very popular resort. It fell into disrepair for some years. In 2010, the city decided to renovate it, and it has been restored back to its former glory.
The beach is magnificent for watching wildlife as the whole area is now a protected refuge for birds and plants.
Look out for osprey and piping plover, and the uncommon prickly pear cactus. You may also be lucky to discover some sea lavender.
Some areas of the beach are sectioned off, to protect plover nesting areas. You will see plenty of cotton-tails, foxes, raccoon and deer.
If you enjoy nature-watching, then make sure this is on your list to see.

82. Taft Chair

You will find this at Woolsey hall, in New Haven. This chair was built especially for President William Howard Taft.
The president weighed in at a staggering 300 pounds, and needed a wider chair to accommodate his size. A number of chairs were built for him alone, and this is one of only four that still exist.
The one you see in Woolsey Hall is there permanently, and is still in uses for larger people.
Another chair is placed in the balcony of the concert hall, for anyone who attends a concert, and who is larger than most! You need just ask for seat E-9.

83. Witch’s Dungeon at Universal Studios

Universal Studios is found at Bristol. You can see all the characters of the film ‘Werewolf in London’ all replicated in wax. The models were created in 1966 and you can take the tour on your own, or in a group.
Be prepared to be horrified by the appearance of such people as Boris Karloff, Vincent Price, and Lon Chaney, to name a few.
After the tours, you can watch a vintage movie thriller in the original format.
Please note that this is not suitable for children. Flash photographer is not permitted either.

84. Charles Island

This island is supposedly the home to the lost treasure of Captain Kidd. It is rumored to have been cursed three times.
Legend says that the little island, which is connected by a sandbar, was cursed and is still the spot where the treasure is hidden. It is a small island of only 14 acres, but it has an abundance of nesting birds.
Although the island has been considered over the years as venues for things like yacht clubs and military installations, it has remained as it is. It is the largest home for breeding egrets and herons in the state.
If you plan to visit the island, be aware that the tides change, and the currents are strong.

85. Nathan Hale Schoolhouse

You will find this in East Haddam. It is the place where one of America’s spies began his career. Nathan hale was a teacher at the little red schoolhouse.
Nathan Hale was one of America’s very first spies – not a very successful one, it seems, as he was captured and then hanged. His last words were (according to legend) ‘I only regret that I have only one life to lose for my country’.
The little red schoolhouse if filled with things that you would have found in a schoolroom back in 1900.
An interesting point here is that Nathan Hale was designated the state hero of Connecticut by state legislature in 1985.
