Tripping on Travel: Mashamoquet Brook, Pomfret, CT
Following my visit to Mashamoquet Brook via the State Park on June 6, 2024, I was looking at a map again and realized there may be other opportunities to get close to the brook at other locations up-stream. And then I would include footage from those locations all in one video. Subsequently, I visited a bridge crossing the brook on Hampton Rd (Rt 97) on the 21st of June, and another one on Covell Rd on the 22nd of June. But at both locations, I could not get close to the brook, nor would it have been safe to try. Each location is divided into three segments in this video. The date and location in the line at the bottom of the video changes with each segment.
I provide links to some history I found regarding the Mashamoquet settlement and how it evolved into what we now know as Pomfret. Long before the birth of a nation that would be titled the United States, early settlers were occupying, buying and selling native land in the Connecticut area and using the British pound as their currency. Most specifically, it was the rich soil of the area that attracted land barons, farmers and agricultural developers to buy and hold land. As for the brook itself, it is mentioned in the history I reference. But nothing more than that.
