Veterans Memorial Park — Shelton, Conn.

WSHU’s Off the Path takes us to New York’s original state capital. A look at Connecticut’s ties to the Declaration of Independence. It’s the series finale of WSHU’s The Making of U.S., and a very patriotic installment of Birdsong Break!

Sabrina is host and producer of WSHU’s daily podcast After All Things. She also produces the climate podcast Higher Ground and other long-form news and music programs at the station. Sabrina spent two years as a WSHU fellow, working as a reporter and assisting with production of The Full Story.
