My family had a cottage up on the Moodus Reservoir we visited in the summer and on weekends from our home in the NYC area between 1973 and 1977. As a teenager during those years, and even though residing on western Long Island in a suburban, but densely populated, area - the rural scenery - to me - seemed astonishing. Our home was on Shore Road near a boat launch into the reservoir which, at the time, was unpaved. I would tell my friends back home in NY that I walked around like Huck Finn barefoot and in shorts with a fishing pole. We would go water skiing on the lake, fishing in an aluminum rowboat with an old 5 hp motor and in the evenings, you could see the stars and hear the wildlife. Fast forward half a century and oh my how our world has changed. For good and bad, in that era we forged friends and foes - but did it the human and natural way - through conversation, getting into mischief, chasing girls, sneaking a cigarette and sometimes something a bit stronger and just being kids. I would imagine today if that scene was to be replicated, digital technology would oblique almost all the human interaction in it's cold, albeit efficient way. Lesson for me is treasure what you have while you have it because everything on this earth is temporary, save for the memories and what lives in your heart!
It's also a safe haven for kids and teens with learning disabilities and mental troubles if they're looking for any good schools to get a great education at. The town isn't wrong when the slogan says "Proud of Our Schools."
Wow - I grew up in East Haddam and IT WAS MISERABLE. I was bullied relentlessly and have c-PTSD partially as a result of thirteen k-12 years of relentless homophobic bullying at school (at that time it was first East Haddam Elementary School followed by Nathan Hale-Ray Junior Senior High School).
The entire town becomes in effect a publicly funded racetrack on Summer weekends. Flooded with super loud bikes and hot rods. Speed limits, what’s that? I’ve lived in EH for almost 40 years and I can tell you with zero equivocation that it’s not a quiet country town. The police and politicians couldn’t care less.
Live there currently and can’t wait to get the fuck out
