Windsor State Forest: 1812 Capt. Allen, who was one of the most prominent men in the town and owned a saw mill, a grist mill and a farm that lay on both sides of the stream.
Windsor Bush, closer to the intersection of Windsor Bush and River Roads, was once called “Allensville.” One or more of the Allen family lands encompassed Windsor Jambs. The grinding stone of Capt. Allen’s former grist mill now sits on the east bank of Windsor Jambs stream above the chasm.

There’s a lot more to Windsor than meets the eye. Thank you to DCR Interpretive Coordinator Alec Gillman for the history!
