"The Thimble Islands is an archipelago consisting of small islands in Long Island Sound, located in and around the harbor of Stony Creek in the southeast corner of Branford, Connecticut.
The archipelago of islands made up of Stony Creek pink granite bedrock were once the tops of hills prior to the last ice age. As a result, the Thimble Islands are much more stable than most other islands in Long Island Sound, which are terminal moraines of rubble deposited by retreating glaciers. "

They have a cool boat ride tour - if you go back for a visit. Jane Pauley leaves on one of them...but they won't tell you which one. But most of the tiny little islands have just one house on them. Much victorian architecture.
I lived in CT my first 20 years and had never heard of the Thimbles either !
