Description

ConnecticutConnecticut is an historic collection of treasures with deep connections to the sea and proud agricultural traditions. The Brooklyn Fair is one of the best in New England where visitors learn about farming, animals and hot rod tractors at the tractor pulling competition. At the Rich's dairy farm, the family pre dawn ritual is milking, and sometimes they work their land the old fashioned way with horse drawn machinery. When they are not milking cows

Connecticut is an historic collection of treasures with deep connections to the sea and proud agricultural traditions. The Brooklyn Fair is one of the best in New England where visitors learn about farming, animals and hot-rod tractors at the tractor pulling competition.  At the Rich's dairy farm, the family pre-dawn ritual is milking, and sometimes they work their land the old-fashioned way with horse drawn machinery. When they are not milking cows they are making gourmet ice cream in their roadside stand.

With the arrival of the Antiques Marketplace in Putnam, the community was transformed from a mill town on the skids into a booming antiques mecca that draws visitors from around the region to purchase everything from postage stamps to vintage pieces of furniture selling for thousands of dollars. Mystic Seaport is a maritime historic village with authentic wooden ships and an opportunity to discover the region's connection to the sea. In Groton, the "Submarine Capitol of the World", the US Navy's Submarine Force Museum and Library preserves the heart and soul of "the silent service".

Project Oceanology brings high school students out to sea to conduct water quality research in a real life setting. It looks like a mediaeval fortress but in reality the stone castle overlooking the Connecticut River is one of the Connecticut's most popular and intriguing attractions - the home of William Gillette, the original actor who played Sherlock Holmes.  In 1968, a bulldozer operator accidentally uncovered 2000 dinosaur footprints from 200 million years ago. Today they are preserved underneath a geodesic dome at Dinosaur State Park where visitors learn about the creatures who once walked on this very spot.

In Hartford, take a peek inside America's oldest public art museum, the Wadsworth Athenaeum, and step back in time to the gilded age in the house where Mark Twain created "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" and other tales. Nearby Bristol, is home of the new High Definition production studios of ESPN. It's all here in the small state of Connecticut, rich in culture and remarkable because of its people.

DVDDACT REVIEW: Discoveries America: Connecticut
"It may be the 3rd smallest state, but Connecticut can claim some historic "firsts": the first daily newspaper, the first art museum, and the first insurance company, just to name a few.

Discoveries America, Connecticut captures the state's rural charm, which makes it a popular retreat from the hustle and bustle of New York City, Philadelphia, and Boston. While 75% of Connecticut's population resides along its extensive sea shore, most of the state is comprised of rich farmland.  Connecticut also boasts the oldest still-functioning state capital building in the United States (a beautifully ornate gingerbread structure), and the oldest agricultural fair in the country (and largest in New England) - the Brooklyn Fair, featuring everything from hands-on children's exhibits to noisy tractor races.

Along the Atlantic coast, this program takes armchair tourists to the historic village of Mystic Seaport, where authentic wooden ships fill the harbor, as well as the "submarine capital" Groton, and a geodesic dome at Dinosaur State Park that preserves 200-million-year old footprints discovered by accident in 1968. Recommended."

Love this remote holder!
Color: Retro, Color: Retro
Very sturdy! Holds all my remotes…for bed, TV, light, fan, and flashlights. I am ALWAYS misplacing my remotes, so this item is a sanity saver. I put my remotes in a certain order: bed, TV, Light, fan and lastly two rechargeable flashlights. That way, even in the dark, I can find what I need. Yes, I’m older than dirt. This is a great looking, sturdy remote holder. You need it. And if you’re of a “certain age” and you misplace stuff you MUST have this remote holder!

Stylish & functional
Color: Retro, Color: Retro
This remote holder is great! 5 sections to place things. I have room for 3 remotes & 2 additional things. I discovered it’s the perfect place to store my glasses. I only use this pair to watch tv at night, but previously I could never find where I left them. No worries about that now! My nightstand is way less cluttered now & I don’t have to worry about my dogs ruining my glasses or running off with the remote!

Great for Minimalist Design!!!
Color: Grey
These really help keep us tidy!! The material is nice and it's not so big that it looks cluttered. It's located on a small end table between my husband and myself. It holds nail clippers, 2 remotes, pens, scissors, ear buds, and a charger. I bought another to have on the other end table.
