About the Neighborhood

Merryall, New Milford, Connecticut. The section of New Milford known as Merryall is set in the beautiful hills of Litchfield County in the northern part of New Milford, between Kent and New Preston. It has long been an extremely popular section of town for those who prefer to live a more quiet lifestyle. The homes are nestled in a highly wooded area, with homes, large estates and farms spotting the countryside.

The Merryall section of New Milford was given its name by a group of men who were surveying the area between 1776 and 1731, it is not quite clear. However what is clear is that they were dining by a spring, shared a bottle of spirits, and named the area "Merryall" as they were Merry all! A book titled "History of the towns of New Milford and Bridgewater, Connecticut, 1703- 1882 by Samuel Orcutt is a good read, I find myself fascinated by the early residents of New Milford Township.

Steeped in local history, the Merryall Chapel is still in use to this day. Built in 1890 it is a reflection of times gone past. Services are scheduled a few times a year, local clergy are asked to participate. Across the street from the Merryall Chapel is the Merryall Center for the Arts. On first glance one would pass it right by, however they have a pretty impressive list of performers there on a regular basis.

Weantinogue Heritage Land Trust holds much acreage in Merryall, preserving and protecting the land for future generations. This has become a passion for many that move to this area of town. Because of their efforts we all enjoy the beautiful scenery as it is today.

Merryall is close to the Appalachian Trail, Mohawk Mountain, Route 7, the Housatonic River and many other places of interest. So much to see and do here, plus the proximity to beautiful downtown New Milford which boasts a most beautiful and historic village center, a magnificent village green, many wonderful restaurants and great shopping.
