Heritage Village

Heritage Village recreational and cultural facilities, services, and activities are shared by all residents and are directed by and maintained by the Heritage Village Foundation, Inc. of which all unit owners are automatically members.

The Meeting House

This pre-Revolutionary house is believed to have been built in 1740 by a member of the Curtis family. It had changed hands a few times before it was purchased early in this century by Wallace Nutting, the famous photographer, who used it as a residence as well as a studio. In 1953 it became the country home of the entertainer Victor Borge who in turn sold it to the Paparazzo organization, developer of Heritage Village. Now it’s a setting for entertaining by residents and serves as one of the VIllage’s centers for several club and social events.

Ethan Allen Cottage

Legend is that the Revolutionary figure Ethan Allan was born in this Early American cottage when the cottage was located in Litchfield, CT. Legend continues that the cottage first moved to Roxbury, then to Woodbury and later to Southbury. Now it is home to the Village’s own Library which contains over 8,000 books and hundreds of puzzles.

The Lodge

A rustic lodge-like interior is a perfect setting for enjoying bridge, pinochle, billiards, pool, and ping pong…and exchanging fish stories and for bull sessions. Off the terrace is bocce, horseshoes and shuffleboard.
