History

When morning arrived, the armed villagers marched in the direction of the noise only to discover that the nearby pond had dried up, and the area was littered with hundreds of dead bullfrogs. Willimantic is best known for its legend,[http://www.curbstone.org/index.cfm?webpage=102 "The Battle of Frog Pond"]. Assuming the worst, they seized their arms and prepared for the impending Indian attack. The citizens of Windham (Willimantic is located in Windham) were awakened in the middle of the night by a tremendously frightening racket just outside of town. Thus, the fearsome sounds that had plagued the citizenry the previous night had not been Indians but rather bullfrogs “fighting” for water.
