Stagecoach routes went everywhere in CT, from the late 1700s to the mid 1800s. Then, trains came along. Until then, you had to contend with crowded, bumpy rides. It was the cost of doing business.

Yeah, I was afraid that might not work. Snowing my ignorance now: how do I go about making a "linked post?" I haven't done that before. Thanks for any guidance.

If you create a new post you can either upload the image or provide a link to the website and Reddit takes care of hyperlinking.
I hope you figure it out. I grew up in Connecticut and have always loved our history. It is one of the reasons I studied history among other subjects in college.

I have a JPEG, so I'll create a new post and label it as such. Thanks!
While I didn't study history in college, I have always had a passion for it and CT history is indeed amazing!

That’s great. I know a few folks here are fascinated by our transit networks which of course as a start in stage coach routes which also likely followed Indian trails.
I love your posts and I hope others do too. Such a great service to teach people out history.
