Once the bureaucratic headquarters of Windham County, it boasted a courthouse, evolving into a thriving hub of commerce and agriculture. These days, it's a peculiar panorama of events hidden within its streets. Let's embark, shall we? First, the Greek Revival Windham Bank, now remodeled as the Windham Free Library in 1896, erected in 1832. Then, dart toward the village green, hemmed in by the Congregational Church, Post Office, a previous inn, various homes, and the original Windham Bank. Stroll down Scotland Road to uncover the residences of two Connecticut's Revolutionary pioneers, Eliphalet Dyer and Jedediah Elderkin. Lastly, as a history buff, don't miss Zephaniah Swift's work, who authored A System of the Laws of the State of Connecticut in 1795, America's first legal treatise.
