Just 10 miles south of Hartford, the Capitol of Connecticut, in Rocky Hill, lies Dinosaur State Park.
Here, on a site discovered by a construction worker in 1966, while running a bulldozer to excavate for a new state office building, is a dome constructed to cover and protect a portion of a sandstone layer covered with over 2000 dinosaur tracks. Inside, a visitor will see over 200 of those 2000 tracks, along with many educational exhibits which explain what the visitor can examine.
