The real thing is better, of course — we have miles of country roads, even more miles of old stone walls, hundreds of acres of woods and streams, starry skies. We also have a great community, which includes the renowned rehabilitation center for birds of prey, the first net-zero home in Connecticut, dozens of sports teams for children of all ages, community gardens, historic places, and a score of active civic groups.

Virtual Killingworth, however, will answer many of your questions, save you trips and phone calls, and help you understand the town government. It will give you access to many services the town offers and allow you to keep up with what’s going on in the various committees and commissions that govern Killingworth. You can also communicate with Town Hall easily and quickly by clicking here (in an emergency, however, please call 911).

Whether you live in the real Killingworth or are just visiting, please let us know what we can do to serve you better.

First Selectwoman Catherine Iino
Many thanks to Ken Metz, the most generous of hosts, for offering beautiful Chatfield Hollow Farm for town events throughout the year. Recently, the town and the Chamber of Commerce held a breakfast there for local realtors, who were wowed by the inn and grounds and reminded each other of all the things that make Killingworth special. On April 28, the farm, along with the Killingworth Women's Organization and the Killingworth Library Organization, held an Earth Day celebration and fundraiser for the library.

As always, Mitch Bankston and Tema Araujo warmly and graciously made certain that everything ran smoothly. The day included live music, informational talks, and demonstrations—of, among other things, pruning techniques, of which blossoming peach branches were a lovely by-product.
