This week's "Turnback Tuesday" looks at one of the early modes of transportation between Derby ("Birmingham”) and New Haven.
This picture shows the stagecoach waiting for its next daily run to New Haven.
Many modes of transportation have been employed over the years - walking, horseback, carts and wagons, carriages, railroads, rivers and canals, horse cars and horse railways, bicycles, trolleys, and automobiles.
Thanks to the Derby Public Library staff for sharing interesting local history each week!

Patrick Pantalone, 39, was always healthy and athletic.
However, his whole life changed when he was diagnosed with Chronic Kidney Disease in 2014. While he is currently on the transplant list he must get dialysis three times a week to keep his levels from becoming toxic.
These treatments make him very tired and unable to spend the quality time he was once able to with his wife Marisol, and their four children.
Since his diagnosis, Patrick has lost a lot of time from work and while his employer has been very understanding, the missed time has caused a financial strain on the family.
Patrick would love nothing more than to spend time with his family, away from the financial stresses and the stresses associated with his diagnosis. He longs for the opportunity to create a memory with his family that will last a lifetime.
Treasured Time will give the Pantalone family the “Gift of Moments” in the fall. Visit www.treasuredtime.org and make a donation today!
