Harwinton offers rural living next to city convenience
The rural town of Harwinton got its unique name a few hundred years ago. “Harwinton is the only town in the world with that name,” says Susan McClen, a local historian who has lived in Harwinton her whole life. “It comes from combining the names of Hartford and Windsor townships, which came together to form Harwinton in the 1700s.” The predominantly residential community has a few local businesses and several acres of land trusts dedicated to outdoor recreation. Plus, city conveniences are a short drive away. “I live on 10 acres in the woods, but I’m 10 minutes from Walmart in Torrington,” McClen says.
Harwinton is ideally located between Burlington and Torrington for easy access.
Harwinton features homes from the 1800s to 2000s, blending history and modern living.
