Picture Connecticut: A Part Of Connecticut Road Trip Folklore
HEBRON, CT — Welcome to this week’s Connecticut image — Eagle Rock.
The rock sits on the shoulder of the eastbound lane on state Route 66 in Hebron, a couple of miles west of the Route 85 interchange. It juts out slightly but also simulates the large eagle landing. It is a genuine work of art.
The rock has been painted for decades and, back in the late 1970s into the early 1980s, it sporadically changed characters. But it’s been predominantly an Eagle for years now.
It’s worth a side trip heading to and from both Eastern Connecticut State University or the University of Connecticut or on a general adventure into the eastern part of the state.
It’s definitely a part of Connecticut road trip folklore.
