Mysterious Gungywamp

1.25 miles; groton, ct gungywamp is an archeological site in groton, the origins of which are in some dispute. the site itself is not open to the public, and you can only see it on guided hikes. i’ve been hearing about this spot for years, and thanks to a denison pequotsepos nature center-led hike today, […]
