Detailed Description
Studying the mountain streams and rivers of New England means never being too far from a scenic and historic waterfall, like the Burlington Falls on Bunnell Brook pictured here. This natural resource attracted small industries to a mostly rural Burlington, CT in the early-19th century. The ruins of the Hotchkiss Watch Factory, which closed operations in the 1830’s, can still be found with only a short hike upstream. This site is maintained in cooperation with the city of New Britain, CT, and the Connecticut Department of Energy & Environmental Protection (DEEP).
