Fall is a wonderful time to hike “the Valley” in Trumbull. Today it is hard to believe that factories once existed all along the Pequonnock River. This is Tait Paper Mill. Started by Andrew Tait in 1836, the mill manufactured marble paper. Later, it produced straw board for packaging. You can find all kinds of clues to the past in the Pequonnock River Valley. What have you seen? 👀🌳🫈🏚️
