Bridgeport had seemed destined for a zoo since the days when P.T. Barnum was mayor in the 1870s. He would walk his circus animals through the streets around the time that Beardsley Park was being laid out, to a design by Frederick Law Olmsted. The zoo eventually opened in 1922 and today is made up of nine main areas. To highlight a couple, there’s ...
A destination for STEM learning programs, but also a tourist attraction in its own right, the Discovery Museum has upwards of a hundred hands-on exhibits. It’s all a perfect combo of education and learning, perfectly pitched for kids. Space science is a recurring theme, at exhibits like the Science of Flight and Hall of Space. At the latter I was i...
After a mental workout at the Discovery Museum there’s active outdoor fun in the woods around. The Adventure Park has a range of high ropes courses to tackle, with around 200 treetop platforms. These are linked by transitions like zip-lines (38), cables and bridges of every description. Naturally you’ll be given a full safety orientation before set...
Trumbull is on a 16-mile multi-use linear trail tracing the course of the Pequonnock River. It runs in sections from Long Island Sound at Seaside Park in Bridgeport up to Centennial Watershed Forest in Monroe. In Trumbull alone the trail meanders through nine parks, reserves and wildlife areas. You can walk or ride the length of the town under a ca...
The most visited of all of Trumbull’s green spaces is Indian Ledge Park, which has served the town for decades. The park has a high reputation for its BMX racing track, one of the best in the state. Elsewhere, some major acts have played the amphitheater, including Chicago, Creedence, and Hall & Oates. The amount of facilities on hand is long, but ...
The old Abraham Nichols Farm at 1856 Huntingdon Turnpike houses a museum exploring Trumbull’s 300-year history. Abraham Nichols is thought to have been the first Englishman to have settled in Trumbull, at some point around the turn of the 18th century. The farm was in the Nichols family until Florence Woods (born Nichols), passed away in 1973. At t...
For about a century after 1828 this park on the Pequonnock River was the site of a hugely productive tungsten mine. The Hubbard Tungsten Mine at Long Hill was a source of 60 other minerals and crystals, such as tourmaline, topaz, opal and beryl. In the end a fire brought the curtain down in the 1910s. Then in 1937 the site was landscaped and Old Mi...
One of my favorite of all of Trumbull’s public spaces is the idyllic lawn around the town hall and library. In a Colonial Revival style the town hall is actually a lot newer than it looks, and was constructed in 1957. On a quiet summer’s day, the leafy green is a good place to idle for a moment, or take a picnic. In the warmer months there’s a seri...
Trumbull has picked a suitably quaint space for its seasonal farmers’ market. This is the Richard and Mary Moore Memorial Field, wrapped in hardwood forest and old stone walls. The market takes place on Thursday evenings, mid-May through October. I was surprised at just how big this event is, as there are at least 40 vendors most weeks. In terms of...
Sometimes you can’t beat the convenience of a mall for a shopping trip, and there’s a large one in Trumbull. This was the first enclosed shopping center in Connecticut when it was opened by the Frogue Corporation in 1964. The anchors when I came through were Target, Macy’s, and J.C. Penney. Among the 150+ other retailers there’s something for every...
