The 10 Best Things to do in Brookfield, Connecticut (CT)

January 6, 2022 Enriqueta Cusson

Brookfield is an affluent town in Fairfield County, Connecticut, United States, situated within the southern foothills of the Berkshire Mountains. The population was 16,487 at the 2010 census. The town is located 43 miles (69 km) northeast of New York City, making it part of the New York metropolitan area. Brookfield was first settled in 1710 by John Muirwood, as well as other colonial founders including Hawley, Peck and Merwin. They bartered for the land from the Wyantenuck Nation and the Pootatuck nation who were ruled under the Sachem Waramaug and Pocono. The purchase of the southern portion of town involved the current municipal center where sachem Pocono then had his village and lived in an enormous palisade along the Still River. Eventually, when the town was settled, it was first established as the Parish of Newbury, which incorporated parts of neighboring Newtown and Danbury. The town of Brookfield was established in 1788. It was named after the first minister of the parish's Congregational church, Reverend Thomas Brooks.

Bridgewater Chocolate Factory and Factory Store

Reviewed By muchtravel100

We ordered almost 300 boxes of chocolate for our customers as a holiday thank you gift and the team at Bridgewater is truly amazing. We ordered the chocolate, had a special logo on the inside of the box and asked them to do all the individual shipping around the country. We worked with Emily D and she managed the whole process seamlessly. The chocolate is amazing and worth every penny and the service is off the charts. Great team in every department and again, Emily knocked it out of the park with the experience we had working with Bridgewater. It's a very well run business.
