About Windsor, Connecticut

The town sits at the confluence of the Connecticut and Farmington Rivers, a geographic advantage that shaped its colonial importance. Today, Windsor is a diverse suburb of roughly 29,000, known for Northwest Park and Nature Center's 473 acres of trails and farmland, the Palisado Green's historic district, and the prestigious Loomis Chaffee School. Windsor's Connecticut River access, proximity to Bradley International Airport, and strong community identity make it a unique blend of heritage and modern convenience.
