Let's start with a few questions to narrow down your options.


The state of Connecticut started a program in the early 1920s in which people could purchase land and donate it to the state. The residents fundraised and individually donated, and the total was roughly $8 per acre, or about $24,000 worth of land, which is a little over $356,000 in today’s dollars.
The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), which was overseen by President Roosevelt’s New Deal program, laid down several miles of roads and blazed trails. CCC also built several structures, including a nature museum made out of fieldstone and logs. This museum is on the National Register of Historic Places. Also contained within the Peoples State Forest boundaries is another historic place, the Barkhamsted Lighthouse, which was a 17th- and the 18th-century progressive community consisting of Native Americans, African Americans, and Whites. Though the buildings are long gone, the foundations are still visible.
The closest town to the Peoples State Forest is Hartford, 25 miles to the southeast. Both the capital of the state and one of the oldest cities in America, it’s also the home of America’s oldest public art museum, Wadsworth Atheneum, which was founded in 1842.
