New Podcast Episode!
Mary Donohue, Asst. Publisher of Connecticut Explored, reveals Connecticut’s connection to Gutzon Borglum, the sculptor of Mount Rushmore, and the run up to his most contentious project, the Mount Rushmore National Monument in South Dakota. Perhaps the largest outdoor sculpture in the country, it has been controversial since it was proposed. Where it’s located, who it commemorates, and its sculptor are all part of the national conversation now.

The National History Day - Washington D.C. is coming up for a lot of the schools in CT. This year's theme is on communication and understanding how it relates to historical events etc... Wonder if CT explored would place some posts up that relate to the theme to assist kids in beginning to think about a topic for the upcoming year.
They'd pull the statue down because they have no clue!
African Americans aint African.

Did you know there are places in Connecticut that have disappeared? Pleasant Vale is one such place. It was part of Oxford. Now it is at the bottom of Lake Zoar.
Oxford is on the Housatonic River. On the other side of the river is Monroe. To travel between Monroe and Oxford you have to drive over Stevenson Dam. Lake Zoar was created when Stevenson Dam was built. Today it is a popular place to go boating. Full story: www.ctexplored.org/kids-page/ ...
