Rocky Hill-Glastonbury Ferry, Connecticut

The Rocky Hill-Glastonbury ferry, near Hartford, is said to be the oldest continuously operating ferry service in the USA, starting in 1655. It is one of two active ferry crossings remaining on the Connecticut River (the other is the Chester-Hadlyme ferry downstream). Both are operated by the Connecticut Department of Transportation, which periodically threatens to shut them down, only to relent in the face of protests from local residents. The ferry is seasonal, operating from April through November.
