| The towns comprising the Farmington Valley are Simsbury, Avon, Farmington, Canton and the Granby's. Come and enjoy our main streets and study our history. You'll find old fashioned Yankee hospitality and colonial charm. Our towns combine the charm of yesteryear with today's modern conveniences. Browse in our fashionable boutique shops, enjoy a meal at one of our many fine restaurants, or have homemade ice cream while sitting on a bale of hay at Tulmeadow Farms in Simsbury. We also have an active cultural life with community theatre, art galleries, festivals, and concerts in the park. Simsbury is the summer home of the Hartford Symphony. It is fun to pack a picnic dinner, grab a lawn chair and sit back and enjoy the Symphony under the stars in the meadow on Iron Horse Blvd. The following is a very short history of some of the Farmington Valley towns. |
