Stone mile markers were placed along Connecticut's earliest earthen turnpikes starting in the 1700s. Around 600 were placed at one-mile intervals along these turnpikes. An estimated 100-150 remain. Where were they measuring to and from? Who placed them? What was Ben Franklin’s involvement? How did they measure a mile? Where can you find them?  

Join noted history podcaster and storyteller Mike Allen for answers to these questions on Wednesday, July 23, at the Cheshire Public Library. His presentation begins at 6:30 p.m. It is free and open to the public.

Registration is required.

Thanks to the Friends of the Library for sponsoring this program.
