KNOWOL made this map in 2026 from public survey data, and gave it the look of an old atlas. The shaded hills come from United States Geological Survey elevation data, and Lake Chaffee is drawn to its true shape. The streets and the town line come from the Census Bureau, right down to small roads like Zaicek Road. The villages are printed by name: Warrenville, Westford, West Ashford and Ashford. A guide of 31 numbered landmarks runs along the bottom, with the National Register sites marked, and we checked those against National Park Service records.
Ashford in 1714
Ashford was founded in 1714, the year printed on the title panel: Incorporated 1714. For more than a century Ashford was a bigger town. Eastford was part of Ashford until 1847, when it split off to organize a town of its own. Click here to learn more about the history of Ashford.

Mixer Tavern on Pompey Hollow Road
Mixer Tavern (1), on the National Register of Historic Places, stands in Warrenville where Westford Road meets Pompey Hollow Road. John Mixer bought 100 acres at the spot in 1710. He became Ashford’s first town clerk and its first licensed taverner. Town meetings often started at the meetinghouse and then adjourned to his tavern to finish their business.
During the Revolution, the Marquis de Chastellux and four other French officers from Rochambeau’s army stopped here on an excursion to Portsmouth, New Hampshire, while their troops were camped in Hartford. In the 1920s a family restored the old tavern and gave it the name it still carries, the Pompey Hollow Inn. Pompey Hollow Park (22) is nearby.
Knowlton Memorial Hall and Babcock Library
Knowlton Memorial Hall (13), also on the National Register, was finished in 1924 as a town hall and a library. It was the gift of Charles C. Knowlton, a textile businessman, in honor of his family. More than 800 people came to the dedication, and Ashford’s own Babcock Band played a concert.
The library upstairs was called Babcock Library, in honor of a $3,000 gift from Archibald Babcock. Babcock Library (2) has its own number in the guide today. Ashford Town Hall (20) and the Ashford Town Offices (24) are separate entries too, both near Warrenville, along with the Ashford Volunteer Fire Department (15).
Ashford Academy and the Town Green
Over by Ashford village, the guide marks Ashford Academy (6), another National Register building, beside the Ashford Town Green (7). The Ashford Post Office (5), Ashford Memorial Park (25) and Ashford Volunteer Fire Station 220 (30) are close by. Ashford School (17) sits nearer the middle of town, and the Westford Congregational Church (14) is up toward Westford in the north.
Church Farm and Its Guaranteed Trousers
Church Farm Preserve (10) takes its name from the Church Farm on Mansfield Road. The farm’s historic buildings, at 396 Mansfield Road, are listed on the National Register. Zalmon Aspinwall built the main part of the farmhouse in 1821, and it’s believed to include an earlier house from 1791.
John Church kept 140 sheep here for their wool, and in one year the farm made 1,000 pounds of cheese. Later, John W. Church went into the clothing business and sold trousers with a guarantee. If a button fell off, he’d pay you ten cents. A tear at the waist was another ten cents, and if the seat ripped through, you got a dollar or a new pair.
Forests, Preserves and Camps
The guide numbers the forests and preserves around town. Yale-Myers Forest (4) is in the northeast, and Natchaug State Forest (8) reaches in from the southeast. The preserves include Haberman Haven (3), Knowlton Hill Preserve (9), Colts Pond Road Preserve (11), Friedmann Memorial Forest (12), Rankin Preserve (18), Pinkham Preserve (19), Fliegel Farm Woods (21), the Josias Byles Sanctuary (23), Iron Mine Valley Preserve (26), Langhammer Town Forest (27) and Tinkerville Brook Preserve (28).
Ashford has its camps as well. The June Norcross Webster Scout Reservation (16) is in the guide, and so is the Hole in the Wall Gang Camp (29), out to the east. The Eastern Connecticut Sportsman Club (31) rounds out the list.
This map of Ashford makes a handsome addition to a living room, office, library or den, and it can even help teach children the geography and history of the town. It’s a thoughtful gift for anyone who calls Ashford home, grew up here, or moved away. Created by KNOWOL in 2026, it’s printed on museum quality archival paper in three sizes.
