A quintessential New England town. Located in the valleys and foothills of the Berkshires, the town has a special place in American history as the birthplace of Seth Thomas clocks. The clock business may be gone now, but quaint victorian and colonial homes still line Main Street and dot the surrounding hills.
The town is small enough to feel like a village but big enough to support a vibrant culture of art, theater, food, and music.
Residents enjoy easy access to groceries, restaurants, stores, and activities. The 1875 Opera House on Main Street still hosts popular productions under its vaulted victorian ceilings. The public library is one of CT’s best, and the public education system boasts a 10:1 student/teacher ratio.
The town’s, charm, safety, affordability, and centrality have made it attractive to young professionals and families from CT and abroad.

Thomaston is a great small town with a very close nit community. Growing up I always felt safe and my parents always felt safe letting me play outside with my friends. Everyone in the community knew one another and strived to help one another to unite the community. The one thing that I would like to see change in Thomaston, is the access to recreational activities. The school system is public and their are not many opportunities for sports. We also only have one type of entertainment in town for "rainy days" and it is the bowling alley. I would like to see a movie theater come into town so that we can keep our children from having to travel to other cities to watch a movie.
After spending nearly 12 years in this tiny town. The community is great and friendly, there is beautiful homes, and Thomaston is an overall beautiful place to live.
