The entirety of Windham County is situated inside of the Quinebaug and Shetucket Rivers Valley National Heritage Corridor. Rolling hills, rural character, farmland and quintessential New England Scenery define this area. One of the only stretches of green between the urbanized corridor of Boston and Washington D.C. the area has vast unbroken forests. Numerous state parks blot this stretch offering outdoor recreational opportunities. Some of the best hiking and skiing in the country is found in this section of New England. Sitting along the northeastern corner of Connecticut, Windham County was created in 1726. Containing 16 incorporated towns and expanding across 521 square miles, the county has a population of 120,000. Windham County is the least populated of the state’s eight counties. The present day boundaries of the county were not designated until 1885, nearly 130 years after its formation.
Windham County is probably the most scenic in the state with an idyllic view of the Long Island Sound. In the Mystic-Eastern region of Connecticut residents of Windham have easy access to multiple beaches during the summer, the Seaport Aquarium and two of the largest casinos in the entire world. Woodstock is known as one of the recreational centers of Windham County. Town Beach offers fishing, swimming canoeing and picnicking; a beautiful setting for a private event, it can be rented out for weddings and parties. Camp Nahaco, a campsite, offers hiking and horseback riding, and the Palmer Arboretum is a freshly organized and inviting botanical garden. Not often thought of as a viticulture hot spot, the Taylor Brooke Winery cultivates over 2000 vines. A tasting room is offered on the weekend. The county is home to the Woodstock Fair; an annual celebration held every year since 1860. Occurring during Labor Day Weekend, the fair has a carnival, agricultural exhibition and farming competition.
The County is in proximity to both Massachusetts and New York, making trips to Boston and New York City incredibly simplistic.
