CTMQ’s Guide to Killingworth

1 Comment

Everything Killingworth

I’ve been exploring and writing about Connecticut since 2006. After a decade, I began compiling CTMQ guides for each town in the state. I plan on “completing” Killingworth CTMQ-style… as well as the other 168 towns, cities, and boroughs in Connecticut. After all, that is the ultimate goal of CTMQ.

What do you know about the town that is most famous for having the awesome name of Killingworth? You can scroll down for my list of things to do in town. Or, as always, you can click on the town’s tag to see what I’ve done.

If I’ve missed anything in town or if anything has closed or changed, please let me know.

    Killingworth, like Beacon Falls, is one of those towns that upon hearing the name, I (shamefully) think to myself “There’s no such town in Connecticut.”

    And that’s despite having cousins who live in Seymour. And having gone to Chatfield Hollow a bunch as a kid. I remember it having a mill/water wheel, though I might be mixing that memory with another park.

    This comment feels weirdly confessional – sorry to residents of Beacon Falls and Killingworth. Beacon Falls, I like your views of the Naugatuck River and Route 8 adjacency. And Killingworth, I like your Chatfield Hollow and cool name.
