About New Preston

New Preston is a picturesque village tucked within the town of Washington in Connecticut's Litchfield Hills. Sitting just south of Lake Waramaug along the East Aspetuck River, the village centers on a charming, hillside main street filled with boutique shops, antique stores, and neighborhood cafes. The rushing waterfall at New Preston Falls nods to the area's mill-town history, but the village today is better known for its relaxed pace and classic New England charm.
