The Redding sticker, for the town that was Connecticut's Valley Forge. A glossy kiss-cut vinyl sticker with the Redding vintage retro logo in black, for the laptop, the water bottle or the notebook.

This is the smallest, cheapest way to carry Redding around, and the stocking stuffer that actually gets used. Buy a few: one for the laptop, one for the car, one for the kid who is away at school.

Glossy vinyl kiss-cut sticker for indoor use, made from durable 100% vinyl with strong adhesive for a quick, smooth, bubble-free application. Kiss-cut keeps the backing intact for an easy peel and a precise shape. Not waterproof.

In the winter of 1778 to 1779 General Israel Putnam quartered three brigades of the Continental Army in the Redding hills, close enough to watch the Sound and the Hudson Highlands at once. The men built log huts, went hungry, mutinied once and were talked out of it by Putnam himself; the encampment has been called Connecticut's Valley Forge, and the site is now Putnam Memorial State Park, the state's first.

Redding began as the Lonetown tract John Read bought in 1714 and was incorporated as a town in 1767. Mark Twain spent his last years at Stormfield here, and nearly forty percent of the town is now protected land: hills, stone walls, woods and farms. The old oak on the Redding mark stands for that.

He was the first of a line. Charles Ives built a house on Umpawaug Road in 1913 and put the old camp into music as Putnam's Camp, Redding, Connecticut. Edward Steichen bought worn-out farmland at Topstone in 1929, bred delphiniums on it and photographed it for forty years; most of it is now a town park. And after Luttgen died in 1922 and Villa Linta burned, his ponds and carriage drives passed to Archer Huntington and his wife, the sculptor Anna Hyatt Huntington, who left the land to the state. It opened as Collis P. Huntington State Park in 1973, with her bears and wolves at the gate. Joel Barlow, poet of the Revolution and later a diplomat, had been born here long before any of them, in 1754.

Why is Redding called Connecticut's Valley Forge? Because in the winter of 1778–79 Major General Israel Putnam quartered a division of the Continental Army here — about three thousand men in three camps of log huts — short of bread, blankets and shoes. Joseph Plumb Martin, a Connecticut private who wintered in Redding, remembered the season as one of starving and freezing. The main camp is now Putnam Memorial State Park.

Why People Visit Redding

People come to Redding for what is not here: no highway, no strip, no crowd. They come for a Revolutionary War camp you can walk alone on a winter morning, for sixty miles of trails, and for the hills that drew Mark Twain, Charles Ives and Edward Steichen out of New York.
