Get to know this cosy town on the banks of the Farmington River and find wooded parklands, a fascinating museum, great fishing spots and historic buildings.

Tree-lined streets are enclosed by pretty woods in the riverside town of Unionville in central Connecticut. Explore the riverfront downtown and take a moment to admire the gentle waters of the Farmington River. Learn about the region’s history at Unionville’s heritage-listed museum and discover the charms of present-day Unionville when you explore the town’s locally owned shops, boutique restaurants and cafés.

It’s said that Unionville was named for its central position at the crossroads between Farmington, Burlington and Avon. The town grew up around waterpower industries and the bustling New England hub developed. Find out about the town’s rich heritage when you visit the Unionville Museum. This insightful museum is situated within Farmington’s former West End Library, a beautiful Renaissance-style building that was completed in 1917. Peruse displays of historic artefacts and see the rotating exhibitions and community activities.

Take a walk through Unionville’s main street and check out the local offerings in cosy cafés and specialty restaurants. Try local and farm-fresh produce, as well as expertly smoked and cured meats. Visit a modern bar and try some local craft beers or head to the traditional pubs for a game of pool.

Don’t miss the chance to try angling on the Farmington River. Inquire with a local fly-fishing guide and find out all the best tips and tricks for hooking a catch on the picturesque river. Go hiking, bird watching, fishing or hunting in nearby Nassahegon State Forest or spend the day by the tranquil waters that border Fisher Meadow.

Situated 20 minutes’ drive west of the state’s capital city, Hartford, Unionville is an ideal town to base your exploration of central Connecticut. Unionville is about a 40-minute drive from Bradley international Airport. You can reach Unionville from Boston and New York City within 2.5-hours’ drive. Stay in historic New England inns or comfortable motels and enjoy your proximity to the region’s tranquil forests, lakes, meadows and golf courses.
