The Tiny Connecticut Hot Dog Stand That Martha Stewart Can’t Stop Raving About

The Forgotten Theater in Connecticut Has an Eerie Backstory

In the heart of Derby, the state's smallest city, an old Victorian building that once uniquely served as both the community's bustling cultural center and local city jail now ranks among the most eerie abandoned places in Connecticut. The Sterling Opera House, which closed its doors in 1945, has long since been left to deteriorate and crumble, but remains a fascinating structure filled with rich history, local lore, and a possible paranormal presence.

GIVEAWAY: Tickets to Ann's Place Festival of Trees, November 20-22

Mark your calendars for one of Greater Danbury's most beloved family events: Ann's Place 24th Annual Festival of Trees on Friday, November 20 through 22, 2026 at The Summit in Danbury (100 Reserve Road). I've been attending this event with my daughters (age 17 and 14) since they were just toddlers! It has always been a highlight of the season for us. We put on festive attire (the trees make a wonderful backdrop for holiday photos!), load up on raffle tickets to try to win some of our favorite trees, shop the boutique, enjoy baked goodies and take in the sounds of the holiday entertainment! And the best part is that the event helps to raise funds for Ann's Place -- an amazing local resource dedicated to help individuals and families in the community who are facing cancer. This is one event not to be missed!

A woodchuck named Chuckles helps run a Groundhog Day celebration here every year. Yes, a real woodchuck. Somehow that’s only one of the reasons kids beg to come back.
