Thompson blends New England history with easygoing, outdoor-focused living in the heart of Windham County. Classic village greens, historic mills, and scenic back roads set the tone, while access to I-395 puts weekend destinations like Worcester and Providence within reach. Everyday conveniences are close by in neighboring Putnam, Woodstock, and Killingly, giving residents a wide range of dining, shopping, and cultural options.
Outdoor enthusiasts find plenty to do. Trails and boat launches at West Thompson Lake invite paddling, fishing, and birding, while the multi-town Air Line State Park Trail offers miles of biking and walking on a converted railbed. Motorsports fans know the area for the storied Thompson Speedway Motorsports Park, hosting regional racing and track days that bring energy to local calendars.
Families appreciate strong community resources. The town’s public schools, led by Thompson Public Schools, serve students from early grades through high school, while the independent Marianapolis Preparatory School attracts learners from across the region. Lifelong learning and community programs thrive at the Thompson Public Library & Community Center, and town services and events are easy to track via the Town of Thompson.
