Everything Warren I’ve been exploring and writing about Connecticut since 2006. After a decade, I began compiling CTMQ guides for each town in the state.

Warren’s Town Trails Intro
Warren's Town Trails Like you, I know nothing about Warren. This is how Warren likes it. I have been able to discern that there is this place called Warren's Woods that is owned by the town.
