KILLINGLY — There may not be strawberries anymore at what was known as the Old Strawberry Farm but ... perhaps something equally cool.
This year the acreage at 65 Cotton Bridge Road is overrun with fireflies.
Owner Ken Demers said he was out checking part of the land and happened to come along the dirt road along the Quinebaug River and see “maybe 50,000 fireflies.”
They are not the synchronized fireflies in Tennessee but, well, just as stunning.
He invites folks to go see them.
If you come onto Cotton Bridge Road from Rt 101 come down a small hill. Just before the bridge, look to your left and you’ll see a dirt road with a chain across, he said.
Park along the road and walk past the chain to get into “firefly central.”
He’s owned the property for a long time and said he’s never seen anything like it.
