One of our absolute favorite things to do when we are out riding around is to find roadside oddities and attractions. We have been known to make many a U-turn while driving down the road. This page will be dedicated to any roadside attractions we have found in the state of Connecticut.
It will be a constant work in progress as we will add new oddities and attractions every time we find one. Make sure you check back often for new updates. Better yet, subscribe to my site so you will be informed each time content is added. Don’t worry, no spam here. I only send out emails once a week, usually on Fridays. Subscribe Here

The Comstock Covered Bridge is one of 3 covered bridges in Connecticut. It was built in 1875 and was uncovered. It was used for local traffic and pedestrians crossing the river. In 1873 the bridge was upgraded and made more attractive by adding a wooden Pony Truss Formation. The bridge was re-born as the Comstock Covered Bridge. In the 1930s the bridge was rehabilitated to support the weight of the covering.

We were just about at Walgreens to pick up prescriptions when we saw this guy at the store next door. It sits in front of a Surplus Unlimited store. It was one of the few times we were not on the bike for a roadside oddity. Just goes to show you that “Roadside Attractions & Oddities” are everywhere!!!
