The Wonderful Adventures of Brad Rachel and Lincoln and Jillian

Here are some pictures that we took in New Haven Conneticut. On our way home from Canada we stopped and had lunch just across the bay from the 5 mile Light house. We were able to get alot of seafood without spending alot of money.
Before there was a lighthouse at New Haven's Five Mile Point, the spot was noted for a battle in the American Revolution, when American riflemen repelled a British attempt to land and invade New Haven. British Ensign and Assistant Adjutant Watkins was killed in the skirmish and was buried close to where the lighthouse now stands. The first light house at this spot was built in 1805, but was soon found to be in poor shape. In 1847 a new light house was built to replace the old light house. The second light house still stands today.
