Historic Woodbury 

Lovely Woodbury is set just north of Southbury in picturesque Litchfield County. This small rural town is rich in scenery and New England charm, qualities which residents strive to preserve while yielding to modern amenities. A degree of light industry and shopping, including an impressive selection of fine antique ships-in fact the largest concentration of dealers in New England, are found in town. More extensive shops, cultural offerings and employment are a short distance away via local roadways.  

Woodbury was settled in 1672 and incorporated in 1674. Glimpses of its history can be seen throughout town, but the town center, designated as a national historic district, presents a delightful time capsule of early colonial life. Points of interest include the Hurd House, built in the latter half of the seventeenth century, which has been meticulously restored to its original condition; the Glebe House, a fine example of colonial architecture and furnishings, now open to the public as a museum, and featuring a spectacular botanical display designed by the great English garden writer Gertrude Jekyll; and the 1867 No. 2 South Center District School, which provides local school children with a sample of early schooling methods.  

Residences include many of the first homes of Woodbury-well preserved by residents, and a wide variety of older colonials, deluxe condominiums, complexes and new developments of traditional design.  

The scenic open lands of town provide ample space for athletes and nature enthusiasts alike. The Hollow Recreation Area features 70 acres of sweeping meadows and wooded areas along the Pomperaug River. The Flanders Nature Center offers exciting and educational exhibits, a wildlife sanctuary and excellent trails for hiking. The town maintains facilities for swimming, Little League, soccer and tennis. A Rod and Gun Club hosts a variety of sporting events, and Woodbury Ski and Racquet offers both down hill and cross-country skiing in the winter months.

Picturesque Oxford 

Incorporated in 1798 and pleasantly set between the Naugatuck and Housatonic Rivers, Oxford has the pastoral beauty of sweeping meadows and open fields, charming country neighborhoods and the opportunity for light industry. Oxford is a perfect choice for peaceful family living.  

While Oxford's residential areas consist primarily of older homes, farmhouses and traditional New England architecture, the availability of prime land invites new construction and residential growth. The Town Green showcases stately historical structures, and the large homes and open lands of the Quaker district are particularly attractive.  

Additional lands have been zoned for light industry and offer potential for increased commercial development. The business and residential appeal of Oxford is enhanced by its close proximity to the Waterbury-Oxford Airport, and easy access to major roadways. Routes 34, 188, 67 and Interstate 84 provide comfortable travel to employment, shopping and community events.  

A number of lovely parks and lakes, including Kettletown State Park, Jackson Cove Park, Lake Zoar and Housatonic Beach provide outdoor and aquatic pleasure to residents. The town maintains excellent recreation facilities which offer tennis, supervised play and organized team sports.
