Wants you To KNOW

The Town of Beacon Falls was established in 1871. We have a big history in industry, the site of the creation of the first friction matches and the famed Beacon Falls Rubber Shoe Company. Outdoor enthusiasts can find peaceful trails and parks great for hiking, picnicking, and wildlife viewing. Friday Night Lights bring the town together to cheer on the Woodland Regional High School football games each fall. Community spirit shines at annual events like the Firemen’s Carnival, making Beacon Falls small in size but big in heart.
