Shade Swamp Shelter is a historic rustic shelter on the north side US 6, just east of New Britain Avenue in Farmington, Connecticut. It is a modest open post-and-beam log structure, with lattice framing at the corners and diagonal support braces. The interior floor is flagstone, with a rustic bench built around the perimeter. The shelter, built in 1934, is a well-preserved example of work by the Civilian Conservation Corps.[2]
The shelter was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.[1]
