Time stands still, residents keep moving

The historic New England area of Plymouth was home to inventors like Eli Terry, who made the mass production of clocks possible. The nearby community of Terryville was named in honor of Eli Terry's son, Eli Terry Jr. The concept of time is woven into the area, as you can feel the echoes of its Colonial beginnings in every quintessentially New England brick and stone. Detailed murals depicting the town's local history are splashed colorfully across Terryville's walls, and you'll find Civil War landmarks sprinkled throughout. According to local historian Matt Malley, that's all part of the appeal.

Many designs for wide price ranges

Homes in Terryville date as far back as the early 1900s. Colonial Revival, Cape Cod, ranch-style, Prairie-style and bungalow houses can all be found in the area. There are also plenty of townhomes and condominiums, and home prices range from $128,000 to $575,000.

One-of-a-kind tree species

The nearby Plymouth Reservoir is open to the public for fishing and non-motorized boating. Residents can hike the Festa Forest Trail, on the far side of the dam. Right on Main Street in Terryville is Baldwin Park, donated by the Baldwin family in 1892. Various trees were planted in the park in 1995 as a part of Plymouth's Bicentennial. Visitors will encounter a Copper Beech tree, a rare Kentucky coffee tree and a pin oak grown from an acorn taken from the Constitution Oak on Plymouth Green. Locals also gather at the park for the annual summer concert series.

The taxes in this town are terrible. The roads are horrendous. You would think we could have decent roads for what we pay in taxes. Approximately 900K was stolen from the town and it was the bank that discovered the money was being misappropriated,not the town. Recently 3 teachers have been arrested for being pedifiles What are they spending our money on?
