Connecticut State Route 169
Route 169 Norwichtown to East Woodstock, CT
Length: 36 miles
Connecticut State Route 169 is a ribbon through quiet village landscapes, scenic woodlands, and quaint farmsteads amid fertile river bottoms and rolling hills moving through the Quinebaug and Shetucket Rivers Valley National Heritage Corridor. This byway winds through history, passing colonial homesteads, churches, stone walls, meeting houses, and private schools as it connects classic New England towns. Views include maple and pine stands and glacially deposited rocks and boulders that lie strewn throughout fields. In mid-fall, beautiful foliage will greet you around every bend. Many old farms, stone fences, bridges, churches and other quaint historic structures line the byway, providing the perfect opportunity for a snapshot of colonial architecture framed by vibrant leaves. Stop by Mashamoquet Brook State Park in the byway town of Pomfret.
