Welcome to Wilton

Classic New England beauty with a modern flair

Is it possible to have storybook New England charm with colonial homes, cobblestone streets, and old glacial stone boundary walls, mixed with an unbelievable nightlife, world-famous shopping, and unlimited big-city amenities? It is if you live in Wilton, Connecticut. This town was once called Norwalk and was settled in 1651. The farming community grew, and some of its residents became Revolutionary War heroes. Not to be outdone, in the mid-1800s some residents went on to become part of the Underground Railroad. In 1882 it was officially incorporated as the town of Wilton. How’s that for historic roots?
 
Today, Wilton is a vibrant, green, beautiful suburban town. Its proximity to New York City makes it a highly desirable place to live. People can easily get to the city for entertainment, shopping, or work and then quickly whisk home to peace, quiet, and open green space. Wilton has many parks and nature trails, boutiques and independent shops, museums and art galleries, and niche eateries as well as fine-dining establishments. Architecture includes many old homes on the National Register of Historic Places. There are also spacious modern homes, posh townhouses, and luxury condominiums.

Local Lifestyle

Wilton residents enjoy walking trails, tree-lined streets, and open green space. The sense of community is very strong here. Many locals are active in the Wilton Garden Club, “providing education, conservation, preservation, and beautification.” The Wilton Farmers’ Market is a popular place to hang out with friends and catch up on the latest gossip. They offer the best in fresh produce, artisan breads, herbal products, soaps, and arts and crafts.


Dining, Entertainment & Shopping

For exciting Latin, Southwestern, and Mexican foods, make Cactus Rose your regular hangout, and do try the wild shrimp al mojo. If you’re looking for a “rustic but chic American restaurant and bar,” look no further than the Little Barn. Enjoy their Chatham fish ‘n’ chips while sipping a smokey margarita and listening to live music. 
 
For authentic Italian cuisine, it’s hard to beat Aranci 67 Restaurant and their linguine del Pescatore. If you’re a dessert-first person, though, just make a beeline for The Painted Cookie, and make sure you order some chocolate-covered Oreos.
 
Of course, the unlimited shopping and exciting nightlife of New York City is always available to Wilton residents, but the town has plenty of its own boutiques and quirky shops. Stop in at the Champagne Taste Shop for the latest clothing trends, gifts, and bath and body products.


Things to Do

The Rolling Hills Country Club is a social club offering an 18-hole golf course, tennis courts, swimming pool, and a fabulous clubhouse with excellent food, drinks, live music, seasonal festivals, and a ballroom. For those who love to fish, the Norwalk River is stocked with trout yearly and runs right through Wilton Center. It’s a hot spot for fishing or just picnicking and checking out the anglers. There are also 23 different trails to walk that include nature and greenery as well as historic sites.
 
History nerds will adore the Wilton Historical Society for their many collections, exhibits, art shows, historic resources, and educational programs. For the best in live theater and
performing arts, The Wilton Playshop awaits with quality shows.
