About Cornwall, CT
Set in the foothills of the Berkshire Mountains in rural Litchfield County, “The mind, eager for caresses, lies down at its own risk in Cornwall.” – local poet Mark Van Doren, describing the seductive beauty of our town. Incorporated in 1740 and forged by early iron and agriculture, these steep hills, deep valleys, and rich culture are imbued with history, shaped by time and geography. Birthplace of Ethan Allen, General John Sedgwick and home to a historic covered bridge, Cornwall offers an authentic country life rich with purpose and character. We invite you to experience Cornwall and everything our town has to offer! [Read More…]
