Islamic Center of Connecticut

The Islamic Center of Connecticut is a masjid or mosque located in Windsor, Connecticut serving the Muslim community of Hartford County.

Its Enfield cemetery is believed to be the only Islamic cemetery--meant for only Muslims--in New England.[1][2] (However, there have been separate Muslim burial plots associated with other cemeteries previously, including in Worcester, Massachusetts and Biddeford, Maine.[3])
