Places of Interest

Two current gathering places predate the Civil War: the North Pomfret Congregational Church, built in 1844, and the Town Hall, built in 1845 as a Universalist church.

In 2002, the listers tallied five working farms in town, including dairy and beef cattle raisers, as well as nurseries, greenhouses and apple orchards.

Hikers can traverse the town on the Appalachian Trail.
