West Cornwall Covered Bridge over the Housatonic River in Connecticut, USA - Unravel Travel TV
The West Cornwall Covered Bridge is a wooden covered lattice truss bridge carrying the Sharon-Goshen Turnpike over the Housatonic River in the town of Cornwall, Connecticut, USA. A previous bridge was destroyed in the flood of 1837 and a new bridge was constructed in 1841. This bridge would also be destroyed and the current bridge would be completed circa 1864. Utilizing the central pier from the previous incarnation, despite the Town lattice being able to withstand the weight and single span, the bridge has two spans. The later addition of queen trusses and supports gives the bridge an unusual appearance. Modernization of the bridge in 1968 and 1973 has continued to let the bridge handle traffic. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. The West Cornwall covered bridge is very significant and important as one of only three surviving covered bridges in the state of Connecticut.

Fall Foliage (Autumn Travel) - Litchfield Hills, Connecticut
The Litchfield Hills are the rolling foothills of the Berkshire Mountains, located near the historic town of Litchfield, Connecticut. The Litchfield Hills are perfect for the fall color seekers. The small town offers everything you need with a colorful backdrop. What you will see is an amazing view of red, yellow and orange rolling over the countryside.
In the hills you can hike and bike on the many available trails that will take you up close to the fall foliage. You can also see the hills and colors by taking one of the beautiful scenic drives. Litchfield is very beautiful in the fall because there are orange leaves, yellow leaves and red leaves, too.
Lake Waramaug is a great place to view the colors and have a fun drive. If you head north, you will see a picturesque covered bridge and in West Cornwall. The fall is also a great time to go wine-tasting in these vibrant hills. Check out Haight-Brown Vineyard, located on Chestnut Hill. Not only it is Connecticut's first established winery, but you can also get local cheeses here.
For history, architecture and great autumn views, check out Topsmead State Forest. Antiquing is also a fun activity for a fall day. The Litchfield area provides great shops downtown as well as cool places scattered outside. Now, if you are looking for a bite to eat, try a place off the beaten path called Wood's Pit Bar be Que, a Mexican Cafe. Now this is definitely the type of place you need a local to recommend for you. I am Mike Camerlengo, showing you Litchfield Hills.

Topsmead State Forest is a Connecticut state forest located in the town of Litchfield. It was formally the summer residence of Edith Morton Chase, daughter of Henry Sabin Chase, first president of the Chase Brass and Copper Company. She left the house and its grounds to the state of Connecticut on her death in 1972. The estate house, built in 1929 to a design by RIchard Henry Dana, is a fine example of a Tudor Revival country estate house, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Topsmead State Forest consists of more than 600 acres (240 ha) of land in eastern Litchfield. It is bounded on the east by Buell Road, the west by [[Connecticut Route 254, and is crossed in its northern sections by East Litchfield Road and Connecticut Route 118. Most of the forest area consists of a hill rising to an elevation of 1,230 feet (370 m). The main park entrance is on Chase Road, off Buell Road. From the parking area on Chase Road, trails branch out through the forest holdings, a combination of open and wooded areas.
Near the center of the forest, and near the top of the hill, stands the former estate house of Edith Morton Chase. It is a large two story structure, with stucco half-timbered walls in the Tudor Revival style. A central section is flanked by cross-gabled wings, with large westward projection that houses a great living room with a tall ceiling. The interior is decorated in 1920s style, and retains original fixtures and finishes. The area around the house is informally landscaped, continued the practice of Edith Morton Chase, for whom it was built.
