Description:
In 1994, because many civic groups, businesses, volunteers and local and

resource. And in 1999, because of the same kind of grassroots efforts,
Congress enlarged the National Heritage Corridor to include towns in the
Quinebaug and Shetucket Rivers Valley in both Massachusetts and Connecticut.
