Avon Congregational Church

The Avon Congregational Church was built in 1819; however, the congregation dates back to 1754. David Hoadley designed the church building. Seven of his designs have been listed on the National Register of Historic Places. 

The church is active today, providing services to the local congregation. The Avon cemetery behind the church is as old as the church.

Farmington Canal Heritage Trail

The Farmington Canal Heritage Trail begins in New Haven and winds its way 54 miles to the Massachusetts border and beyond. Two groups sponsor it:

  • The Farmington Valley Trails Council, based in the Farmington Valley, and
  • The Farmington Canal Rail-to-Trail Association, based in Hamden.

In Avon, you can access the arrow-straight path at Thompson Road, heading north to Mountain View Avenue before the trail enters Simsbury just opposite Talcott Mountain.

Talcott Mountain State Park

Talcott Mountain State Park covers 557 acres and has been under public control since 1965. The highest point is estimated to be 1000 feet, and visitors with excellent eyesight can see an estimated 1200 square miles on a clear day. Hikers may encounter all types of wildlife, from rabbits to deer to bears, as well as wild turkeys, Bald eagles, and many more. Activities include:

  • Hiking
  • Picnicking
  • Visiting the Heublein Observation Tower
  • Enjoying the vista
  • Visiting the historical museum and building

The tower trail takes you to the tower and the observation areas. It is 1.25 miles long from parking located at Summit Ridge. 

This trail is also a portion of the Blue-Blazed Metacomet Trail.

Heublein Tower

The Heublein Observation Tower located in Talcott Mountain State Park was built in 1914 for 

Gilbert Heublein, as a summer home. Gilbert, who was a beverage magnate, promised he would build his fiancé a castle while on a hike in the area. Dwight D. Eisenhower and Ronald Reagan have visited and stayed at the castle. Many people make the 1.25-mile hike to see the structure and enjoy the panorama, especially during fall months, when the autumn colors are vibrant.

Ceiling Repairs and Water Damage Restoration in Avon

A Water Leak from pipes in the ceiling can go undetected for days or even weeks. The drywall or ceiling panels gradually absorb water, become very heavy, and may even fall to the floor below, causing a huge mess. In some cases, stains appear on the ceiling's room side, providing the first hint that there may be a water leak.
