Salisbury, Connecticut

The Crown Jewel of Litchfield County​

It is known for its rural, picturesque setting, with scenic roads, beautiful New England homes, rolling hills, and bodies of water such as lakes and streams.

Sharon, Connecticut

A Picturesque Community

Sharon’s clock tower stands prominently in the center of town – the embodiment of the town’s revered reputation. The cherished Sharon Green, accentuated by numerous historic district buildings, exemplifies the meaning of a quaint New England town. A gathering place for summer concerts, the starting line for the Sharon 5-Mile Road Race, home to the annual Sharon Craft Fair, a meeting ground for the holiday tree-lighting & caroling ceremony, and the point at which the town’s nearly 60 square acres converge. Yet Sharon’s best-kept secret, Mudge Pond, is the beach, offering sandy lakeside swimming, a well-kept picnic area, and the area’s only public high-dive. This 3-meter plunge has become a local right of passage among adults and children. Only 2 hours from NYC and close to Metro North’s Wassaic Station, it is no surprise that Sharon is a popular year-round and weekend destination for those who seek a tranquil respite.

Norfolk, Connecticut​

Quirky in the Most Charming Way!

Contrary to being dubbed the “Ice Box” (due to its history of having the coolest temperatures in Connecticut), Norfolk is a closely-knit and warm community that proudly embraces its brisk reputation. Home to Infinity Hall and Yale Summer School of Arts & Music, there is always an abundance of cultural opportunities and artistic expression. Each Saturday, the Norfolk Farmer’s Market’s whimsical signs lead the way to a bustling showcase of local artisans and musicians that have rightfully earned a reputation that coincides with the town’s quirky nature. A Five-Star Library that offers multi-age book clubs, art receptions, community picnics on the green, and continuous year-round events sits at the forefront of the Norfolk community.

Cornwall, Connecticut​

Outdoors Paradise of Nature

The Town of Cornwall, Connecticut, is located in the northwestern part of the state and is known for its picturesque covered bridge, the 1841 bridge spanning the Housatonic River in West Cornwall. The town comprises five villages and offers a range of outdoor activities, including fly fishing on the Housatonic River and skiing and snowboarding at Mohawk Mountain Ski Area, the largest ski resort in Connecticut. The resort has 25 trails and seven lifts on 330 acres surrounded by state forests and is known for its rustic charm. Cornwall is a popular destination for those who enjoy the beauty of the outdoors and appreciate the history and character of small towns.
