The Farmington Valley CT Heritage Network’s mission is to enhance appreciation of the rich history of Connecticut’s Farmington Valley by promoting collaboration and communication among heritage groups and raising cultural awareness through programming and tours.

The Farmington Valley CT Heritage Network is an association of history related organizations located in eight towns in northwest Connecticut. We work to further the appreciation of the Farmington Valley’s rich history by offering unique tours and programs. We also communicate and share best practices between members of the network to help each organization be successful.

The Farmington River Valley is the geographic thread that connects the Heritage Network. The eight towns in our group cover a wide area of the central watershed area of the Farmington River. We focus on the natural history and culture of this area, from the extensive Native American presence of centuries past to colonial settlement and more recent traditions of the people living here.
