THE WEDDING ROCK

The Story:
The year : 1646
It was a snowy winter, and now, for all to read, is a memorial to the
Wedding of Jonathan
Rudd and his bride.
Unable to travel to a church because of deep snow, it was decided to
meet by a Brooke
for the ceremony. At that time, this was the boundary line of the two
colonies of
Saybrook and Pequot. Read their story on the rock and follow clues to
the Wedding Rock
Letterbox

Clues: The large rock sits at 41.19 degrees and about 72.14+ degrees [
give or take as no
G.P.S was used , the rock can be seen from the road ] The large bronze
plaque tells a
most interesting story. Park carefully and from the western side of the
Rock, walk about
15 steps, passing by a multi family squirrel hotel and a three trunked tree.
Stamp in and please re hide well. The squirrels are curious.!!
For History Buffs, Google ~~ Jonathan Rudd for a most interesting and
colorful history. !
Enjoy
