Granby is a charming small town in northern Connecticut, with a rich history and a scenic landscape. It was founded by settlers from Simsbury in the 18th century, and was involved in a border dispute with Massachusetts that resulted in a unique notch in its territory. Granby is home to the first coins minted in Connecticut, by a local doctor who defied the British authorities. You can learn more about the town's past at the Salmon Brook Historical Society, or visit the Old Mill Pond Village for some quaint shopping. If you love nature, you can explore the McLean Game Refuge, a 4,400-acre wildlife sanctuary that offers hiking trails, fishing, and birdwatching.
