"Rest, Romance, Relaxation" |
|
This circa 1950s brochure did a great
job of promoting Ted Hilton's, one of the two largest resorts in town. Hilton's
full roster of attractions is on fine display in this classic 50's-style
brochure with its many pictures of happy vacationers at the resort and
the surrounding countryside. The brochure nicely portrays a
quintessential Moodus vacation. Click on the thumbnails to enlarge the
illustration. Once you've checked out the brochure, click

 |
| The
cover promises Hilton's guests "Rest, Romance, Recreation." |
"Let
Ted Hilton be your host ..." in the beautiful Moodus countryside. |
"Enjoy
a packaged vacation instead of just ranch life in old New England" |
 |
 |
 |
| Proprietor
Ted Hilton, "a maestro in resort operation," is
featured. |
Again
a western theme, this time in the cowboy hat worn by the goofy sun. |
Canoes
and canoodling, archery on the beach, and a pretty Moodus field. |
 |
 |
 |
| "Outdoor
sports, peaceful rest and wonderful food" made for a great stay. |
Each
week a full schedule of food events kept guests happy. |
Dial
Moodus 73 for the best in "ranch life, beach life, cruise
life." |
