There are only a few spots directly in front of the building, but lots of spots further in. The inside looks original to the building, whenever that may be. The boxes are small and there's a lot of brown. It's adorable! They also have a shop inside with plenty of boxes, mailers, cards, and of course stamps. They have frequent turnover in customers (one goes out, one comes in) and sold out of their Christmas stamps at the beginning of December. The employees were really friendly though, even though there is this constant activity.

I passed through Winchester a few years ago and missed this so on my next trip through Connecticut,…read morethis had to be a stop. This striking Civil War memorial blends Gothic architectural drama with deep civic pride. Its story spans decades of community effort, artistic vision, and historical reverence. The monument is a three-story Gothic-style tower built of locally quarried ashlar granite. Designed by Robert W. Hill of Waterbury, it features a square base with inward-sloping lower walls that straighten as they rise, crowned by crenellations. A circular tourelle projects from one corner of the third level, topped by a bronze figure of a Civil War soldier holding the colors - sculpted by George E. Bissell. The tower stands 44 feet tall and was originally intended to include an iron staircase, but a contractor dispute led to a temporary wooden one instead. Over time, additions included a square entrance arch, stone retaining walls, cannons, and a decorative fountain by Hartford sculptor Andrew Coppola in the 1970s. It is a challenge getting up the hill to the park but once here, you'll appreciate the tower and the view. [Review 1142 of 2025 - 130 in Connecticut - 24695 overall]

Magnificent and awe inspiring…read more Two days ago, I reviewed the incredible Sailors and Soldiers Memorial Arch in Hartford. It was spectacular!! Little did I imagine that 48 hours later, and just 26 miles away, I would see another mind blowing veteran's monument that defies belief. The Winchester Soldiers' Monument is set way up high on a hill in a small park on Crown Street in Winsted. The land it sits on was donated in 1888 by three local gents to establish some sort of Civil War memorial and park. And what a memorial it turned into! They built a three-story granite castle that's over 40 feet tall. And what sits atop the tower? Why an 8' tall bronze statue of a Civil War soldier wearing a jacket and a hat, with a sword on his belt, and holding a flag. The Monument was dedicated on September 11, 1890. Special trains ran out of Hartford to bring a crowd of 20,000 to be a part of what the Hartford Courant described as "Winsted's Glorious Day." The Memorial Park is used for town celebrations and Veterans and Memorial Day ceremonies. Picnics, concerts, plays, religious ceremonies, and weddings are held here. What's pretty cool is that the image of the monument is an essential component of the Winchester Town Seal and the badges of it's police force. When you stand up on the hill, with the statue behind you, you get the impression that the soldier is standing guard, on a never ending vigil to protect his town. This one will give you the chills............

The beautifully manicured Litchfield Town Green, bounded by North, South, East, and West Streets,…read moreis a treasure chest of historical sights. Military monuments are everywhere -Civil War, WW I, WW II, Korea, and Vietnam. There is a cannon there. There is a plaque to commemorate where in 1862, a recruiting tent stood to sign up recruits for the 19th CT Volunteer Infantry. There is a plaque signifying where Lyman (father of Harriet Beecher Stowe) Beecher's church stood. In recognition of all this, in 1968 the US Dept of the Interior and the National Park Service awarded this area the status of "a registered national historic landmark" due to its "exceptional value in commemorating or illustrating the history of the United States." I posted individual reviews of the Beecher, Civil War, and 20th Century war memorials.

The historic district of Litchfield is what people who don't live in Connecticut picture when…read moreconjuring up an image of the state. Litchfield's history is an interesting one, my favorite pieces including locking up Benjamin Franklin's loyalist son and melting down a statue of King George to make bullets during the Revolution. Hints of that history, and the slight revisionism that followed it, can be seen in the structures of Litchfield today. The cobblestone court, although they did not historically have cobblestones, is where horses and blacksmiths used to be kept behind a (no longer existing due to fire) hotel. The Green is well kept with multiple memorials, although the design used is not the one submitted by the architect who one day designed Central Park (and his name escapes me). Today the historic Green area has multiple restaurants (with a lot of pizza), home goods and clothing shops, and of course antique shops. At the top is the Litchfield Historical Society, which can tell you much more about the history then this Yelp review. (They probably remember the important names) They also occasionally offer walking tours, so it's a good idea to watch their Facebook page.
