SUMMARY:Presentation by State Archeologist and Author Nicholas F. Bellantoni at Indian Hill Cemetery Chapel
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1659016922476{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]Join us at the Indian Hill Cemetery Chapel on Saturday\, September 10\, at 1 pm for State Archeologist and author Nicholas F. Bellantoni’s presentation. The presentation is based on his new book\, “And So The Tomb Remains…” telling of the former state archaeologist’s investigations into five 18/19th century sepulchers while delving into family histories and genealogies\, as well as archaeological and forensic sciences that helped identify the entombed. A tour will follow the presentation up to the Chauncey Mausoleum at Indian Hill Cemetery. \nSpace is limited at the Chapel and will fill up fast.  \nTo reserve a spot\, please call this number: 860-346-0452. Please leave your name and phone number. \nThis event is a collaboration of the Indian Hill Cemetery and The Rockfall Foundation. \nNicholas F. Bellantoni\, PhD\nEmeritus Connecticut State Archaeologist  \nDr. Nicholas F. Bellantoni serves as the state archaeologist emeritus with the Connecticut State Museum of Natural History at the University of Connecticut. He received his doctorate in anthropology from UConn in 1987 and was shortly thereafter appointed state archaeologist. He also serves as an Adjunct Associate Research Professor in the Department of Anthropology at UConn\, and is a former president of the Archaeological Society of Connecticut and the National Association of State Archeologists.  \nAbout his book\, “And So The Tomb Remained” by Nick Bellantoni: \nStone and brick tombs were repositories for the physical remains of many of Connecticut’s wealthiest and influential families. The desire to be interred within burial vaults\, rather than have their wooden coffins laid into the earth in direct contact with crushing soil burden\, led many prominent families to construct large above-ground and semi-subterranean tombs\, usually burrowed into the sides of hills as places of interment for their dead. \nIncluded are the tombs of: \nElisha Pitkin\, Center Cemetery\, East Hartford \nGershom Bulkeley\, Ancient Burying Ground\, Colchester \nSamuel Huntington\, Norwichtown Burying Ground\, Norwich \nHenry Chauncey\, Indian Hill Cemetery\, Middletown \nEdwin Denison Morgan\, Cedar Hill Cemetery\, Hartford. \nTo reserve a spot\, please call this number: 860-346-0452. Please leave your name and phone number.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”14855″ img_size=”medium”][/vc_column][/vc_row]

The history of these two properties link Colonel Wadsworth’s Legacy and The Rockfall Foundation. From potato farm to wild forest to outdoor classroom\, Rockfall Forest has a story to tell.[/vc_column_text][mk_padding_divider size=”10″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1632843623455{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]Colonel Clarence S. Wadsworth founded Rockfall Corporation (now The Rockfall Foundation) in 1935 “to establish\, maintain\, and care for parks and forest or wild land for the use and enjoyment of the public”. One of the Colonel’s land holdings was a large plot in Middlefield and Rockfall. He entrusted the land to Rockfall Corporation\, with a small section known as “The Captain’s Field” retained for use by his son\, Seymour Wadsworth.[/vc_column_text][mk_padding_divider size=”10″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1632843649064{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]In 1941\, after Colonel Wadsworth’s death\, the largest portion of the land\, 267 acres known as the “Great Falls Region” was donated by Rockfall Corporation to the Connecticut State Park and Forest commission. The State still maintains this land\, the present day Wadsworth Falls State Park. Adjacent Captain’s Field\, in the meantime\, was leased out by Seymour and used for potato farming in the 1940s and 1950s. After Seymour’s passing\, Captain’s Field was transferred to Rockfall Corporation for preservation. To this day\, The Rockfall Foundation continues to protect these remaining 16 acres of land\, which has reverted to forest since farming was abandoned. No longer a field\, The Rockfall Foundation adopted the name Rockfall Forest in 2020.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
