Litchfield (Village)
Connecticut's textbook historic New England town — colonial Main Street, town green
The village of Litchfield is one of the most architecturally intact 18th-century towns in New England, organized around an elm-shaded town green with a tall white meeting house. The town's historic district preserves more than two centuries of architecture — Litchfield was an important administrative and cultural center in the late 1700s. Litchfield is also the home of the Litchfield Law School, the first formal law school in the United States. Housing in the village core is dominated by preserved 18th and 19th-century homes (many subject to historic-district guidelines), with the surrounding town offering larger lots and contemporary single-family stock. Buyers come for the historic character, the lower density, and a quieter pace than the more tourist-driven Litchfield County villages further west.
