A Balance Of Quaint & New - Kent, Ct

Kent has a wonderful laid-back New England atmosphere with natural beauty including waterfalls and covered bridge. Incorporated in 1739, Kent has a enjoyed a history as a farming community and thriving iron ore producer. Today, the downtown area is a mix of homes, shops and art galleries. Great places to walk / hike and take pictures are the trails in Kent Falls State Park and near Bull’s Bridge.

Here is what caught my eye; I hope you enjoy!
