Spiderweed Preserve

 With a name like that, who can resist? I read that this property got its name from  the unkempt condition of its garden.

In Middletown, CT, adjacent to The Bear Hill area by unmarked trail, but accessed from "Dripps Road".

Welcome sign. on a steep slope.

From here, it was a steady climb up an old woods road, which I think was access to a homestead.


Ruins, in rather peculiar condition. Some of it seems to be in surprisingly good condition, yet some of it appears to have been removed-no rubble or debris. What fell down must have been removed for safety.

On a fairly steep slope.


I think I see where the floor was. The doorway in the previous picture must have been to a cellar? (no sign of stairs)

What does that say? "The world....?"

The trail (thankfully) levels off after this area, and a spur trail leads to an overlook with this nice view:
