NEW MILFORD

New Milford is the largest town by land area in Connecticut, spread across nearly 64 square miles along the Housatonic River with Candlewood Lake on its western border.

The Bank Street Theater occupies a 1920 cinema built inside the brick shell of a hotel that survived an 1902 fire — it has shown films and hosted events on the same block for over a century.

A Housatonic River town with a village green commonly cited as the longest in the state, a downtown of small storefronts on Bank Street, and hills rolling north into the Litchfield countryside.

Tip: New Milford's town green hosts a summer concert series and seasonal festivals. Pair a Bank Street Theater visit with a walk along the green to get the full downtown loop.
