EB Savage

Joined Atlas Obscura in 2017

I am filled with wanderlust and am especially exciting about finding interesting places near where I live. I live in Hartford, Ct. I often pick a town and do research on strange memorials, graves, monuments, or locations that are interesting and unique, then pick a day to visit all the places I've looked up. I have a friend with whom I often enjoy taking day or weekend road trips in my state or nearby states to visit interesting and obscure places. I'm currently endeavoring to find and uncover every weird, interesting, and obscure location in the greater Hartford area.
