Hiking
One of the area's most renowned landmarks is The Leatherman's Cave. It received its name from a man in the late 1800s who earned his nickname due to his distinctive attire made entirely of raw leather. He became known for his impressive feat of embarking on a 34-day, 365-mile journey on foot across Connecticut, during which he would seek refuge in caves for shelter along the way.
