The valley’s showcase address: hike to Heublein Tower through Talcott Mountain State Park, fish a National Wild & Scenic river, and catch symphony nights on Simsbury Meadows.
Why Simsbury
Every Connecticut postcard of autumn foliage with a stone tower on the ridge is Simsbury — Heublein Tower atop Talcott Mountain, reachable by a trail that starts practically in town. Below runs the Farmington River, part of the National Wild & Scenic system, with fly water that draws anglers from Boston.
Simsbury Meadows Performing Arts Center hosts the symphony orchestra on a lawn where families picnic like it’s Tanglewood. Tariffville keeps a mill-village edge; the center keeps boutiques and bakeries. Income and home values lead this nine-town set — the market knows what it is looking at.
