Some 200 million years ago an early carnivorous dinosaur similar to a Dilophosaurus walked across the sandy shore of a lake in what is now Rocky Hill. Those tracks were preserved in brownstone to be revealed once more when the site was quarried in the 19th century. There are about 2,000 individual prints in the state park. Around a quarter of these...
The oldest continuously running ferry crossing in the United States links Rocky Hill on the west bank of the Connecticut River with Glastonbury on the east. This service has existed in some form since 1655 when it was a raft propelled by a pole. That was replaced by a horse on a treadmill, followed by a steamship, which in turn was switched out for...
One of the great things about Connecticut in the 21st century is that there’s a craft brewery for every town, and sometimes more than that. Rocky Hill’s own purveyor of quality beer is Still Hill, which opens the doors to its industrial home from Thursday through Sunday. The brewery has forged links with some great local food trucks. So there will ...
Rocky Hill is named after this basalt landform that became a quarry, exploited from the end of the 19th century to the post-war period. The old quarry is tiered, with ponds in the lowest pockets. From the highest point near the north end of the rise I could see across Hartford, the Connecticut River and Glastonbury. On the trails in the park’s 84 w...
The museum for the Rocky Hill Historical Society is inside a handsome Federal-style academy building from 1803. Academy Hall is one of just a handful of surviving school buildings in the state from the early 19th century. You’ll find it in a row, sandwiched between the town office building and the Rocky Hill Congregational church. The building serv...
One of the best ways to idle away an hour or two in Rocky Hill is by the Connecticut River watching the ferry shuttling to and fro. The historical marker for the Rocky Hill-Glastonbury Ferry can be found here. Ferry Park is a small parcel of greenery, with dreamy views over to Glastonbury. My tip for early birds is to come at dawn when the scenery ...
On Elm Street between Silas Deane Highway and Grimes Road you’ll be on a Colonial-era roadway that was laid down in the 17th century, leading off from the Rocky Hill-Glastonbury Ferry. This section of the road, from No. 18 to 191 is a Historic District added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1998. As you make your way you’ll see a real...
Rocky Hill has its very own highly-rated escape room attraction. For the uninitiated, escape rooms require a series of puzzles to be solved, using individual skill and teamwork, within an hour time limit. Often you simply have to get out of the room, but often there’s a specific mission to complete. When I dropped by, Codeword Escape had three room...
Rocky Hill is rightly fond of the homey Cora J. Belden Library, praised as one of the best in the region, and run by warm, accommodating staff. Like all the best local libraries, this place is a local cultural point of reference. There’s rich programming for adults, teens and children. There are summer reading programs, book clubs, all sorts of fun...
There’s natural drama just down the Connecticut River in Cromwell, at this wood-shrouded state park on the high west bank. The cliffs at River Highlands reach a height of almost 160 feet, which makes for some marvelous vistas. I should point out that these are best when the foliage is gone in winter and early spring. The woodland is dominated by wh...
Rocky Hill would be the new town’s official name and henceforth would become known as the “political daughter of Wethersfield” to its north. Rocky Hill was not unique in its quest for and success in separation. Two other towns–Glastonbury and Newington–also emerged from Wethersfield.
