Route 77

I found a piece of paper on which I'd written "Be still my soul - Sibelius, M Tab Choir" and Ct 77 Durham Road. I've downloaded the music and I'm going to put this here for posterity:

13.85 miles; from Route 17 in Durham to Route 146 in Guilford.

History:

Commissioned in 1932, from part of the old Route 112.

More:

Route 77 is a designated scenic road. The Danbury News-Times writes:

"Start at the shore and then head for the hills on this 11.5-mile scenic country road, running from Guilford Center north to the town of Durham. See turn-of-the- century farmhouses, crooked old barns and picturesque meadows. There's even a pond along the West River where you can fish, canoe or simply take in the scenery."
