Cannondale, CT

Tucked into the town of Wilton along the Norwalk River, Cannondale feels like a step into a quieter, historic village. With only a few hundred residents, this pocket of Fairfield County centers around Cannon Crossing, a charming cluster of restored nineteenth-century barns, houses, and local storefronts. The area first grew as a riverside farming and mill community, and today it keeps that peaceful, rural character while sitting just minutes from the center of Wilton.
