Cyndy > Remember those old "brown and white snapshots"...this picture is actually in color. Old Say~Brooke, founded 1635. First English settlement on the south shore of New England (the end of the Connecticut River is here)...named for Viscount Say and Seale and Robert,Lord Brooke, 2 of the group of English nobility and gentry who,in 1632, received a patent from Lord Robert, Earl of Warwick, to lands from the Narragansett River to the Pacific Ocean (dont think Robert realized how big this country is !). A fort was established at the mouth of the Connecticut River to protect it for English colonist. First Church was organized in 1646 in the fort's "Great hall". Fourth edifice, built in 1640, stands opposite. Many nearby towns sprang from Say~Brooke. The site of the original colony now called Old Saybrook.
