If your interest is piqued by this area’s tobacco-growing heritage then Windsor’s Northwest Park is an obligatory visit, just over the Farmington River.nnThe park encompasses 473 acres of sports facilities and forest, meadows and wetlands, on a landscape once dominated by tobacco farms.nnYou can delve into this history at the CT Valley Tobacco Museum, traveling back to the native origins of the tobacco plant in New England and following a new timeline exhibit that culminates with the early-20th-century boom in the Connecticut Valley.nnElsewhere you can learn about the area’s geology and natural history at the Northwest Park Nature Center, which keeps farmyard animals in a barn next door.nnThere’s live music every year during the park’s Coffeehouse Concert Series, and in fall the Northwest Park Country Fair is a tradition now in its fourth decade.
Fantastic little museum filled with a vast history of the tobacco farming here in CT. Many artifacts located in their archives building, and you can see real equipment in their shed and walk down the length of it while smelling the dried leaves hung above on the ceiling rungs. Worth a visit, a great place to drop by while you are at the park. Located next to the playground and nature center.
Great bit of ct history
fun for the family!
