Welcome to Connecticut’s ‘sleepy’ corner
Killingly is one of the primary towns in Connecticut’s “Quiet Corner,” a name for the rural northeastern chunk of the state. Mike Teed, a native of the nearby town of Brooklyn, moved away from the region as a young man because he viewed it as boring. But he couldn’t stay away, opening Black Pond Brews in Killingly alongside fellow Quiet Corner native Cory Smith in 2014. “Not only is it homey here, but the people are very down to Earth and relaxed,” Teed says. In fact, when the brewery moved to a new location in Killingly in 2021, locals volunteered to swing hammers and help with the build-out. Far from a nightlife destination, the town closes down by 10 p.m. Still, there are helpful neighbors and pristine recreation among the community of 17,000 people. “It’s a sleepy corner of Connecticut,” Teed says.
Privacy abounds in Killingly
Houses often occupy lots in clearings among the woodlands, separated from neighbors by thickets of trees. Small subdivisions extend off the highways running through the community. Even in those subdivisions, Cape Cods and colonial-style homes are more spaced out than they would be in subdivisions nearer a major city; in fact, Killingly’s median lot size is just over an acre. Two-bedroom homes can be picked up in the low $100,000s. Prices surpass $500,000 for houses with three-plus bedrooms and more than an acre of land.

Parkgoers explore Cat Hollow and Ross Pond
Recreation runs the gauntlet from city-run parks to wild state preserves. Owen Bell Park is a flurry of activity, with skateboarders rolling down ramps, kids swinging on playgrounds and locals shooting hoops on the basketball court. A more secluded option, Cat Hollow showcases the region’s history as a mill community. Bicycles and even strollers are safe to traverse Cat Hollow’s half-mile trail, which skirts by a waterfall that cascades at the site of a mill that operated there for nearly 200 years. Visitors to Ross Pond State Park can explore 300 acres of woodlands, as well as fish or boat on Ross Pond itself.

Ag-anchored education at Killingly High School
Children who attend Killingly Public Schools start at Killingly Central School; graded a C-plus by Niche, the campus hosts students from prekindergarten through first grade. Kids may take classes at C-rated Killingly Memorial School until fifth grade, when they advance to Killingly Intermediate School, also graded a C. Some students at Killingly High School, graded a C-plus, earn college credits while studying through the Agricultural Education Program. The program teaches agriculture-centered topics from forestry to horticulture to biotechnology.
Jalapeno beer on tap at Black Pond Brews
Teed says more businesses are coming to Killingly, but the area’s shopping and dining options remain limited. For example, more than 100 breweries have opened across Connecticut since Black Pond Brews debuted, but only six exist in all of Windham County, Teed explains. Located next to a farm, Black Pond Brews draws locals in search of craft beer, including the brewery’s New England IPA called Moves or Machu Picchu, a jalapeno saison. The Farmhaus Kitchen, Black Pond’s restaurant, serves burgers and flatbreads to pair with its brews. Teed cautions anyone looking for a dynamic nightlife scene in Killingly. “If you’re looking for late nights and parties, this isn’t the place for it. Part of the reason we wanted to open a brewery here is there aren’t a lot of bars, breweries or restaurants in our neck of the woods. But it’s getting better.” Up the street, Killingly Commons retail complex houses Target, Lowe’s Home Improvement and Stop & Shop. The nearest hospital is UMass Memorial Health Harrington, 20 miles north across the Massachusetts state line.
