This Small Town In Connecticut Is Peak New England Vibes
Perhaps more than any other region in the country, New England is a unique place, culturally and geographically speaking. Of course, the six states that make up the region each have their own identity, but there’s a certain ambiance you expect in New England towns. The quintessential town in New England is small, with a bustling main street area. Maybe there are beautiful natural areas, pristine white churches, and tons of quaint historical buildings? If that sounds up your alley, you need to plan a day trip to Cornwall immediately. This sleepy town is one of the best small towns in Connecticut and it’s the epitome of small town New England.
Cornwall is tucked away in Litchfield County, right in the middle of the Litchfield Hills. This area is incredibly scenic.
The town was first incorporated nearly 40 years before the United States declared their independence. The area is rural, but has a quaint Main Street that features tons of historical buildings.
Take a stroll through the town's quiet streets. Cornwall is close enough to major metropolitan areas to have a wider variety of people and shops than you'd typically find in a small town.
This small town in Connecticut has such a great vibe that combines small town New England with the natural beauty of the Litchfield Hills. It's an ideal spot for your next day trip.
