Slideshow: Take a Walk Through Colt State Park (No Sneakers Required)

Samuel Pomeroy Colt loved to collect art, cars, and women. He knew how to make money, too. From scandal to success, Colt's Gilded Age-era life was filled with fascinating twists and turns.

In this in-person, slideshow presentation, we'll "walk" around Colt's gentleman's farm, now known as Colt State Park, making additional "stops" at Linden Place, Colt's mansion on Fifth Avenue in New York, and his fishing camp in Kidney Pond in Maine. Along the way, we'll watch Colt's US Rubber Company on Wood Street in Bristol grow to play a prominent role in World War II.

If you've ever wondered about Colt State Park, this free, in-person event will answer all your questions.
