Town of Putnam

This quaint town is nestled on the banks of the Quinebaug River in the northeast corner of the state. Putnam is renowned for its antique market, boasting several shops offering unique items. Recently, the town has been reinventing itself with an “Arts & Al Fresco” motif, featuring small boutiques, theaters, and art galleries. In addition to its vibrant arts and culture scene, Putnam offers several outdoor recreation options, including the Putnam River Trail. This two-mile trail winds through woodlands, parks, the antique shopping district, and near the mills. The pet-friendly trail is perfect for running, hiking, walking, biking, and roller skating.
