Connecticut Ghost Towns

Connecticut’s ghost towns reflect the rise and fall of New England’s industrial age. Former mill towns, iron works communities, and small farming villages that could not survive the economic shifts of the 19th and 20th centuries now sit quietly in the state’s forests and river valleys. Connecticut ghost towns tend to be subtle – a cellar hole, a stone wall, a forgotten cemetery – but they reward the patient explorer.
