Hartland Hollow, Connecticut
A building in Hartland Hollow, Connecticut. This farming village was one of two hamlets removed to make way for Barkhamsted Reservoir, built to provide water to Connecticut's capital city of Hartford. Around twenty-five homes and farmsteads in Hartland Hollow were razed. Former village residents held one last Halloween dance in Hartland Hollow's town hall in 1940, shortly before the building was incinerated.
