This park on the Housatonic River was first settled and farmed in the mid-17th century. Beginning in the late 18th-century, silver mining and metal working factories were established. In 1956, Frances Osborne Kellogg, a Derby industrialist, donated this parcel to the state. After the hike, we plan on visiting Roseland Apizza for authentic New Haven brick oven pizza (since 1936).
