Rolling Green Hills, Washington Depot, Connecticut, USA

The rolling countryside around the Washington Depot area is impossibly beautiful.

It is no wonder that many of these properties have been bought up by folks from the New York City area wanting a quiet country home and an escape from the busy city about two hours south of here. 

 A working farm in the valley.

Did you know that Connecticut is home to the first hamburger (1895), Polaroid camera (1934), helicopter (1939), and color television (1948). And, in colonial New Haven, cut pumpkins were used as guides for haircuts to ensure a round uniform style. Because of this fashion, these New Englanders were nicknamed "pumpkin-heads." Now you know.  (Source: 50states.com).
