Somersville balances historic mill-village heritage with Scantic River scenery and an easygoing pace that’s hard to replicate. Antique homes and thoughtfully updated capes line walkable blocks, while everyday essentials and beloved local spots sit a short drive away. Commuters appreciate quick connections to regional employers in Enfield and Stafford, and the broader amenities of Tolland County.
Outdoor time here is a way of life. Hikers head to the Soapstone Mountain overlook in the sprawling Shenipsit State Forest, managed by the state at Shenipsit State Forest, and paddlers find quiet stretches and fishing access at Scantic River State Park’s parcels in town, detailed at Scantic River State Park. Closer to home, residents cool off, play, and picnic at town facilities organized through Somers Parks & Recreation. Family outings are easy to plan, from mini golf and go-karts at the locally famous Sonny’s Place to seasonal traditions at the region’s oldest agricultural fair, the Four Town Fair.
Schools anchor the community, with Somers Public Schools known for small class sizes, engaged teachers, and competitive athletics and arts; explore district resources and calendars at Somers Public Schools.
