Union

Union is unique! The Tolland County Visitor's Guide calls it "a tiny, community in the forest primeval." Tucked into Connecticut's "Quiet Corner," it provides unlimited opportunity for outside activities: hiking, biking, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, boating, hunting and fishing. Located equidistant from Worcester, Massachusetts, and Hartford, Connecticut, we are Connecticut's smallest town population-wise within a 29.9 square-mile area. Union has the highest elevation in the state east of the Connecticut River. Renowned for its beauty, rolling hills and abundance of trees and water, one secret to Union's tranquility is that one-third of the town's area is set aside as state park and forestland: Bigelow Hollow State Park, the Mountain Laurel Sanctuary and Nipmuck State Forest. The Yale School of Forestry occupies another one-fifth.
