Vintage Video Reveals Robust Connecticut Industry of the 1960’s
I heard the name Scovill so many times in our house growing up. Quite a few of my relatives worked for Scovill Manufacturing in Waterbury while it existed. I get a kick out of seeing the old photos of where my grandparents used to work.

I was bouncing around YouTube and found a vintage video called 'A Glimpse of Connecticut 1960's' that was posted by Travelfilmarchive, and I was entranced. The video highlights the massive industrial base that thrived here in Connecticut during the 1960's, quite a few of the places that you might remember your grandparents or parents talking about while you were growing up. It's so interesting to see the classic signs and views of our cities before they exploded in size, and there are quite a few that have totally gone away. Here's a few that caught my eye.
