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
Our town's name was first recorded in 1667, more than one hundred years before the birth of our nation. We are in the midst of a year-long celebration of our 350th anniversary. Mark your calendar for Saturday, September 2, when there will be a parade on Route 81 and a town picnic at Parmelee Farm. But first . . . Allan Katz, of Antiques Road Show fame, will present an illustrated talk about the life-sized moving wooden figures that Clark Coe erected in the 1890s along what is now Green Hill Road. The figures are recognized for their significance in American folk art. Some are in collections ranging from the Killingworth Library to the Smithsonian Institution. Thursday, August 24, 7:00 p.m. at the Haddam-Killingworth Middle School. Admission is free.
