Litchfield Historic District: Probably the finest surviving
example of a typical late 18th century New England town, Litchfield was settled
in the 1720s and named for the cathedral city in Staffordshire, England.
For much of the 1700s Litchfield was an outpost and trading center
for the northwest frontier. The town reflects architectural styles
of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, as well as Colonial Revival. |
