It's located on a small town green (look for the gazebo) in the triangle bounded by Boston Post Road, Route 153, and Essex Road. I thought it was quite bizarre to see one half of the sign totally covered up by a large banner promoting some sort of civic function. That seemed wrong to me, I mean if you are a town employee and you have to hang a banner-is this the best solution you can think of?. It's in good shape, well at least the blue background is still bright and vibrant, but the white lettering is starting to show evidence of fading. The plaque relates the history of the area -it's Indian roots and 1648 settlement by residents of the Saybrook Colony. Three cool facts are cited on the plaque. Westbrook was the home of the inventor of the submarine- a guy named David Bushnell. Westbrook was also visited by two giant figures in American history -George Washington (1776) and Marquis de Lafayette in 1824.

Cedars swamps and…read morecrappers Great Cedar Conservation Area is a 320 acre swamp with several miles of hiking trails. It is home to the largest collection of Atlantic White Cedar trees in the state as well as the largest individual White Cedar trees. It's a flat and very easy hike as long as you go in the cold weather. This is a real swamp so the flies and mosquitoes are extremely numerous and will tear you to pieces if you are brave or foolish enough to go in the spring or early summer. Not a lot of interesting rocks or terrain, the trees and plants are the attraction. Some beautiful cedars and some cool ferns closer to the ground, this swamp is a tree lover and botanist's dream I notice some old fences and what looked like an old foundation but what really caught my old was a cool old outhouse with an interesting sign. Not sure who put the sign up or exactly where the venerable old crapper originally came from but I certainly didn't have the courage to open the door to see what what inside. The Great Cedar area is a pleasant little hike that is for people that like to go slow and look, listen and smell. Swamps are beautiful places to hike in the winter but just make sure you don't go when the hordes of insects are masters of the terrain.

The Conservation Area wraps around the Hay House property, The Hay House is constructed entirely of hay bales.

Kinda misleading since it is sitting right there on the trail.

We did not see one whale in 4 hours. I know it is not the guys on the boat's fault but it was a bummer. Riding around on the boat for 4 hours hot old after the first 2.

After he proposed to us about what the tour is about and prices, we agreed to do it. Mainly cause I underestimated how huge Central Park is. We both never been to Central Park and wanted to see the most we could. My friend is a huge Sex and the City fan and got a guided tour of where the filming was. Our tour guide is so knowledgeable and outgoing. I loved learning from him. Once we were done, he was going to take us back to where he found us - in front of the restaurant. We talked to him in dropping us off at Fifth Avenue. He agreed only if we paid him a little extra. We didn't mind since that was our next destination. Overall, great experience.

Anthony also asked the connection to Pennsylvania. My whole family on my dad's side lives in Pennsylvania. And the topper was he saw people sitting around the table playing poker.
