Do you know of Moose Meadow ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Moose Meadow. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Moose Meadow.<1>

Our sources for Moose Meadow (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Moose Meadow other than they indicate that Moose Meadow would be found somewhere in Tolland County, Connecticut.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1838 and closed  in 1905.
