A "Fall" Walk At Wadsworth Falls in Middlefield
Some fall foliage, mostly green, but great small and large waterfalls
Sunday was a wonderfull day to take a walk in the park!
Wadsworth Falls park, formally owned by Clarence Wadsworth, is a very popular park to walk in the winter summer spring or Fall! The trees where still a little to green, but the walk as always was very nice.
Clarence Wadsworth built the Long Hill Estate in Middletown. The Colonel died in 1941, bequeathing the Estate to the Rockfall Corporation, a philanthropic, non-profit organization he established in 1935, devoted to the establishment and preservation of woodlands, wild lands, and open space. In 1942 the Rockfall Corporation honored his wishes by giving 267 acres on the west side of Laurel Grove Road to the State of Connecticut to become Wadsworth Falls State Park.
Middlefield is so named because it is halfway between Middletown and Durham, and Middletown and Meriden. For such a small community, Middlefield has an abundance of wonderful history that goes back to the late 17th century and many first settlers of Connecticut. Middlefield became a Town in 1866 by an act of the Connecticut Legislature. The town was previously part of the City of Middletown.
