When my husband and I want to get away in CT. we head to Woodstock, Pomfret or any of the small towns in the NW corner. These are true small towns, filled with antique shops and beautiful land. Be sure to have lunch at The Golden Lamb and Buttery, in Woodstock. The restaurant is run by a husband and wife who retired on this beautiful farm from the city. She does the cooking, you will walk through the kitchen on the way to your table, he serves the guests. The farm is breathtaking, the food is fresh and lovely and the barn is filled with antiques and memoirs of their own, and the farms, past. Have a great trip!

OMG, it must be Sunday. That would be the northEastern part of the state. Sorry, it's known as the "Quiet Corner".

The northwestern part of Connecticut (Litchfield County) is known as the quiet corner.

I've lived in Connecticut (southwestern) all of my 60+ years, and I have never heard a moniker for the northeastern part of Connecticut.

Northeast Corner



For a peaceful getaway, Connecticut's "Quiet Corner" offers picturesque villages and farms, naturally beautiful woodlands and lakes. Antique lovers delight in the varied shops and lovely vintage homes.

Even tho the original poster has come and gone I would like to vote for Bridgewater, New Milford, Washington, New Preston and Litchfield, CT. Thanks

Well, what do you know! Living down here (Fairfield County), I've never heard the northeastern corner called "The Quiet Corner."

I'm glad you enlighted me.

I meant "enlightened," of course.
