The rural town of Salisbury, through which the Housatonic River flows from north to south, is the most northwestern town in Connecticut. Salisbury’s 60 square miles of land includes two villages, Lakeville and Salisbury, as well as the hamlets of Lime Rock, Taconic and Amesville. This lovely, scenic residential community was incorporated in 1741, and today is home to lovely historic residences and sites including the Scoville Library, the first free, public library in the country, and the circa-1789 Lakeville Methodist Church, the oldest Methodist church in New England. Acres of unspoiled beauty are found throughout town, including part of the Appalachian Trail as well as numerous pristine ponds and lakes. Residents and visitors enjoy a wealth of options for recreation throughout the seasons including fishing, boating and swimming. Each February, Salisbury’s Satre Hill is the site of a regional ski jumping competition, and Lakeville’s Lime Rock Park draws enthusiastic crowds for its racing series. Salisbury also boasts a highly regarded educational system and is home to one elementary school and three boarding schools. High school students attend the Housatonic Valley Regional High School in Falls Village.
