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
Systematic Acts of Kindness
Once a month, a check arrives at Town Hall from Gertrude Bishop, with a contribution to Helping Hands, Killingworth's food pantry for residents in need.

Ms. Bishop has told Helping Hands that she doesn't even want thank-you notes, and I hope this one won't embarrass her. It's worth noting her quiet generosity, which says so much about what it means to be part of a community.
