A charming oasis in the woodlands of northeast Connecticut

Wooded Suburban Rural Community Charming

Nestled in northeast Connecticut, Putnam is a small, forested town on the Rhode Island state line. Although Putnam is mainly residential with large expanses of dense woodlands, there is a sense of small-town charm in Putnam you’ll be sure to enjoy. Putnam Town Hall, the Boxcar Museum, and Rotary Park are just a few of the unique, historic attractions this town has to offer. The Quinebaug River runs directly through town, so the stately homes and small businesses on either side of the river in downtown can enjoy waterfront views. The city’s downtown district is lined with local restaurants and shops such as 85 Main, the Stomping Ground, Elizabeth’s Farmhouse, and the Courthouse Bar and Grille. Historic lofts, charming single-family homes, and longstanding apartments can be found in the city of Putnam.
