The quaint, historic town of Colchester dates back to 1692, when it began as a farm owned by Jerimiah Adams. Filled with New England charm and historic buildings, the Colchester Village Historic District wraps around the Town Green and includes the Hayward House, built in 1775, and Bacon Academy, built in 1803. The elegant Wheeler Block, complete with a gabled roof and dormers, is also in the historic district. This building, also called the Old Town Hall, was built in 1872.
Colchester apartments are becoming increasingly popular. The picturesque town offers some amazing natural destinations, including Salmon River State Forest, Babcock Pond Wildlife Management Area, Grayville Falls Town Park, Day Pond State Park, and Devil's Hopyard State Park. The gorgeous setting is very convenient to nearby Hartford, which is located just 24 miles northwest along Highway 2.

Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
