Farmington: Hill-Stead, Miss Porter's, and the UConn Health Center
Farmington lies in the Farmington Valley west of Hartford, and the town's colonial-era center still runs along Main Street where the First Church of Christ Congregational, established in 1652, continues to anchor the historic district. The town was incorporated in 1645 and served as a staging ground along the route between Hartford and the Connecticut River towns to the west. The population sits at roughly 25,000, spread across several distinct villages including Unionville, which grew around industrial sites along the Farmington River.
Miss Porter's School, the girls' boarding school founded by Sarah Porter in 1843, occupies a cluster of buildings on Main Street and counts Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy and Barbara Hutton among its alumnae. A few blocks away, the Hill-Stead Museum preserves the 1901 Colonial Revival house designed by Theodate Pope Riddle, one of the first licensed female architects in the United States. The house contains a collection of French Impressionist paintings by Monet, Manet, Degas, and Cassatt that remain in the rooms where they were originally hung.
The UConn Health Center on the town's southern edge reshaped the local economy beginning in the 1970s. The complex combines the University of Connecticut School of Medicine, the School of Dental Medicine, John Dempsey Hospital, and associated research facilities. Several thousand employees work at the campus, and the surrounding office parks house biotech and pharmaceutical firms that spun out of university research.
The Farmington River, designated a Wild and Scenic River along portions of its upper course, draws fly fishers and paddlers. The Farmington Canal Heritage Trail, built on the bed of the 19th-century Farmington Canal, runs north from New Haven through the town. Winding Trails, a private recreation area on Devonwood Drive, offers swimming, boating, and cross-country skiing to members and day visitors.
