Description

Noted podcaster and storyteller Mike Allen returns.

Stone mile markers were placed along Connecticut's earliest dirt turnpikes starting in the 1700s. Around 600 were placed every mile along these turnpikes, of which an estimated 100-150 remain. Where were they measuring to and from? How did they measure a mile? Where can you find them (hint: you need to know where to look)? Join in for answers to these questions and much more.

will tell this story on Wednesday afternoon,


The talk and lunch are both free of charge and the general public is invited. Donations are gratefully accepted.

You must register in advance for lunch so an accurate headcount can be made for food ordering.
