Old Photos - Only in CT

I signed up for ONLY IN YOUR STATE emails to arrive daily.  So many cool and amazing things come through about Connecticut. This photo below was taken on Main Street in Hartford in 1885 at a bicycle parade.  Look at the horses!  Look at those old bicycles with the huge front wheel!  It's amazing to this people lived this way.  I love this website.  Each state has their own and you can sign up for as many as you like.  CLICK HERE for more old photos like the one below.
