About Terryville

Terryville is the largest village in Plymouth, Connecticut, home to around 5,000 residents who enjoy a quiet, close-knit community in eastern Litchfield County. The area grew up along the Pequabuck River as an early hub for clockmaker Eli Terry and the Eagle Lock Company. You can still see that history today at the restored 19th-century water wheel downtown and the Lock Museum of America, which sits in the former Eagle Lock headquarters.
