About the town of Washington, Connecticut

Located in the heart of Litchfield County, Washington is known for its rich history and unspoiled beauty. The rural, residential community is nestled in the Litchfield Hills amid picturesque Lake Waramaug, the Shepaug River and the Bantam River. The famous Washington Green is a highlight of the town, which also encompasses the villages of Washington Depot, Marbledale, New Preston and Woodville. Incorporated in 1779, the town was named in honor of General George Washington, who traveled through the area during the Revolutionary War.
A wealth of beautifully preserved period Washington real estate is tucked within a pristine wooded landscape. Washington is distinguished by three historic districts: Sunny Ridge, The Green and Calhoun Street, the latter comprising large historic homes and farms. Home to both year-round and seasonal residents, Washington offers a variety of antique and specialty shops, art galleries, fine restaurants and gracious country inns. The town is served by award-winning public schools along with several renowned private schools. Four-season sporting attractions include Lake Waramaug State Park, the Shepaug River and the thousands of acres of the Steep Rock, Hidden Valley and Macrascostas land preserves.
