A historic reminder of Simsbury’s past.

Colonial Simsbury, Connecticut, was founded in the mid-1600s and quickly became an agricultural hub due to its fertile soil and favorable climate. Early settlers primarily farmed corn, wheat, and rye, with many households maintaining small livestock herds. The town's agriculture supported both local consumption and trade with neighboring colonies. Farming was central to daily life, shaping Simsbury’s economy and community, with generations passing down land and techniques, creating a lasting agricultural heritage.
