Coordinates are wrong[edit]

The listed coordinates point to a location southeast of Devil's Hopyard State Park near the East Haddam-Salem town line and is nowhere near Coventry. --Polaron | Talk 04:27, 24 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

And fixed to the junction of Main and Lake in Coventry. --Polaron | Talk 04:31, 24 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

In the 19th century, there was a small industrial center including mills powered by the water from Coventry Lake Brook as it flowed towards the Willimantic River. South Coventry also includes several Victorian houses, a museum, the main branch of the public library, and the Bidwell Tavern, a bar/restaurant established in 1822. A few doors down is the W.L Wellwood General Store, under new ownership, has been renamed "Coventry Country Store". The general store was originally built in 1787 making it one of, if not the oldest General Store in America (a past owner claimed to have not found an older store). In all, the area has over 100 historical buildings on the national register.^{[citation needed]}
