Israel Putnam Wolf Den

Israel Putnam Wolf Den is a historic site off Wolf Den Road in Pomfret, Connecticut. At this location in 1742, Israel Putnam shot and killed Connecticut's last known wolf. The site was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.
==Legend==

A version of the legend, documented in a 1788 biography by David Humphrey, holds that Putnam and others tracked a wolf to the cave after it had killed seventy sheep on Putnam's farm. Putnam entered the cave by torch light, shot the wolf, and was pulled from the cave by a rope tied to his ankles, dragging the wolf behind him. The story has possibly been embellished over the years, but the main themes of the story, the cave and wolf, are believed to be factual by some historical and modern scholars. The exploit was part of the early career of Putnam, who went on to become an officer in French and Indian War, a leading Connecticut figure in the American Revolutionary War and a folk hero for many generations.〔
