Ashford Connecticut (06278) is a small rural town in northeastern Connecticut located 29 miles east of Hartford. It was settled at the crossroads of New England’s earliest thruways, which encouraged travel and commerce between Boston, Hartford, and Providence. Now Interstate Route I-84 passes through the northwestern corner of town, leaving routes 74, 89, and 44 as scenic alternate routes of travel. The town is just 8 miles from the University of Connecticut Storrs campus and 18 miles to Eastern Connecticut State University (ECSU).
Ashford is graced with natural beauty, with approximately 85% of the town as open space. The town is home to many lakes, parks, and camps, including the largest Boy Scout camp in Connecticut, June Norcross Webster Scout Reservation and Paul Newman's Hole in the Wall Gang Camp, a community dedicated to providing "a different kind of healing" to seriously ill children and their families throughout the Northeast. Ashford was rated at #12 for towns with a population of 3,500 – 6,500 in the March 2010 issue of Connecticut Magazine.
