EAST COAST GREENWAY TRAIL SYSTEM
The East Coast Greenway (ECG) is a developing trail
system, linking many of the major cities of the Eastern
Seaboard between Canada and Key West. Over 30 percent
of the route is already on traffic-free greenways, creating
safe, accessible routes for people of all ages and abilities.
The ECG fosters healthy lifestyles, empowers sustainable
transportation, and promotes tourism.
Connecticut’s section of the East Coast Greenway is
nearly 200 miles from Sterling to Greenwich, and includes
over 20 local trails. In the Greater Hartford & Connecticut
River Valley region, the Greenway connects the Hop River
Trail in Willimantic, and travels west through the Charter
Oak Greenway, the Riverfront Recapture Greenway in East
Hartford and Hartford, through Downtown Hartford, to the
Farmington Canal Heritage Trail that includes the northern
towns of Simsbury, Avon, Farmington, and Southington.
The East Coast Greenway Alliance (ECGA) is the
non-profit organization that spearheads the project’s
development. Based in Durham, N.C., the ECGA employs
field staff in each of its four regions. For information about
the East Coast Greenway Alliance (ECGA) including a stateby-state list of trails and maps, visit www.greenway.org.

Joseph Cinque), the leader of the Mende Africans,
stands on the site of the former New Haven Jail,
where the kidnapped tribesmen were imprisoned
in 1839 while awaiting trial.
Benjamin Douglas House

Farmington Freedom Trail sites:
Approximately 10 miles from Hartford, the
picturesque town of Farmington played an
important part in the struggle against slavery. From
1840 on, it was a major stop on the Underground
Railroad. “Passengers” were helped along
by “conductors” who hid them in their own homes,
“stations” on the “railroad.” No one knows how
many “passengers” came through Farmington,
but there were enough for it to be dubbed
“Connecticut’s Grand Central Station.” Survivors
of the Amistad rebellion lived here for eight months
in 1841. They studied, farmed and raised funds
for their passage home. One tribesman,
Foon, died here and is buried in Riverside
Cemetery. Most of the Farmington sites still are
private homes. For more information, contact the
Farmington Historical Society at 860-678-1645.
www.farmingtonhistoricalsociety-ct.org
