Slideshow: "Take a Walk Through Colt State Park"

"Take a Walk Through Colt State Park" with Lynn Smith, Volunteer Tour Guide at Linden Place and BH&PS Board Member

Samuel Pomeroy Colt loved to collect art, cars, and women. He knew how to make money, too. From scandal to success, Colt's Gilded Age-era life was filled with fascinating twists and turns. In this in-person, slideshow presentation, we'll "walk" around Colt's gentleman's farm, now known as Colt State Park, making additional "stops" at Linden Place, Colt's mansion on Fifth Avenue in New York, and his fishing camp in Kidney Pond in Maine. Along the way, we'll watch Colt's US Rubber Company on Wood Street in Bristol grow to play a prominent role in World War II.
