1955 Map of New Preston

About this map

Lake Waramaug defines the northwestern corner of this Litchfield County landscape, its irregular shoreline dotted with landmarks like Cheeree Point and Marks Hollow Point. In the mid-1950s, the village of New Preston served as a gateway to the water, while to the south, Washington Depot and Washington functioned as the primary civic and educational hubs. The presence of specialized institutions such as Rumsey Hall Sch, Tuller Sch, and Gunnery Sch indicates the area's long-standing role as an educational center.
