This Long-Abandoned Connecticut Tourist Attraction Is Making A Comeback
Here at Only In Connecticut, we love abandoned places. There’s something hauntingly striking about seeing nature take over a spot that was once full of life and human activity. However, we also love a good comeback story, and it’s always nice to hear about places that were once dilapidated eyesores being restored to their former glory. One abandoned place in Connecticut that’s attracted quite a few headlines over the years is the Holy Land USA in Waterbury, CT. This place once attracted more than 40,000 visitors each year, but up until recently, was abandoned and had been heavily vandalized by trespassers. Now, Holy Land USA is again on the up-and-up, and is in the process of making a comeback. Let’s check out the history of this religious theme park in Connecticut;
