Sherman, CT —
A town you’ll never want to leave

Steeped in history and named for our notorious founding father, Roger Sherman, who ventured out on foot from Massachusetts and settled here as a young cobbler in the early 1700's. Roger became a surveyor, Justice of the Peace, Statesman, and the only signer of all four founding American documents. His original cobbler shop is located in the center of town behind the Historical Society. Be sure to stop in to The Old Store for something Sherman!

You will be amazed by this adorable, northernmost town of Fairfield County. Sherman is located at the northern tip of Connecticut's largest 18-mile-long lake. Grab some food at the IGA and head to the town beach and boat launch. Candlewood Lake is a paradise for fishermen, kayakers, sailors, pontoon partiers, wave runners and water-skiers. Daredevils can try jumping from Chicken Rock or take a swing on the rope jump.
