Old Put on a soy candle: General Israel Putnam on horseback, sword raised, for the study, the den or the history shelf. The figure is an original, drawn in old bronze, on an 11 oz soy candle in White Tea and Fig or Ocean Mist and Moss.

The candle is the Redding piece for the house: a shelf, a mantel or a desk, and the easy host gift from town. It comes in two scents, White Tea and Fig or Ocean Mist and Moss, and pairs with the ornament of the same design.

In the winter of 1778 to 1779 Israel Putnam commanded from Redding: three camps, the Danbury stores behind him, the Sound below, and a division unpaid and close to walking home. On the morning of December 30 he talked the Connecticut brigades back to their huts with a speech and one confined ringleader.

From these camps he pushed patrols down to the coast, and in late February 1779 a British column caught him at Greenwich with a handful of men. The ride that followed is the one everyone tells; what people forget is that he rode home to Redding. The park at his winter camp keeps a bronze of that moment by Anna Hyatt Huntington. This figure is not that one. It is an original drawn for Merlin Classics, sword up and hat on.

Soy candle, 11 oz, 100 percent soybean wax, with double cotton-cored wicks and roughly 65 hours of burn, in White Tea and Fig or Ocean Mist and Moss. Stay in the room while it is lit, and keep it away from drafts and curtains.

All Redding Connecticut Items

The nineteenth century was farms, limekilns and one factory. In 1818 Benjamin Gilbert began weaving horsehair sieves in his cellar at Georgetown, on the town's southwest corner. The firm that became Gilbert & Bennett moved from hair to wire, and when the Civil War cut off its Southern customers it painted its surplus wire cloth and sold it for windows — the firm is credited with the first woven-wire insect screening. The railroad came through in 1852, with stations at West Redding, Topstone and Georgetown. The wire mill ran until the end of the twentieth century.

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 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.
