The most built-up area is Jewett City, established as a mill town in the 18th centuries and with an eye-catching library building funded by a local 19th-century industrialist. It’s a place to look into rural business like ethical livestock farms, creameries and even an alpaca breeder. Locally you can walk Connecticut’s Blue-Blazed trails, go boating on tranquil waters and lie back on state park beaches. In Southeast Connecticut, Griswold is a town speckled with lakes beside rambling hills and low mountains.
