Charles Island is located in Silver Sands State Park off the coast of Milford, CT. The island is named for it's first owner Charles Deal who bought it in 1657. The island's history is littered with tragedy and misfortune. Locals will tell you that these events are not bad luck or some big coincidence, they say the island is cursed.
There is nothing better than a sunny, autumn day in the Hat City. The history of the city feels more tangible and the colors jump at your eyes. If you can overlook the honking horns and the manic screams (I can), a ride down Main Street in the fall could brighten anyone's perspective.
