It's a well graded and efficient route, The old way, the road from Pomfret, across the Quinebaug to Thompson Hill and on to Douglas. The westerly part of the route was "laid out" ca 1724 as a "road" from Hartford to New Roxbury (Woodstock). On that part of the route, just east of the Pine Hill (aka the Meeting House Hill) in Ashford, the old path branched, one way going on to Providence, the other leading to New Roxbury. The New Roxbury route branched, one way to Plaine Hill the other, this route to Thompson Hill. Plaine Hill in Woodstock is near the site of Wabaquasett, a Shetucket/Wabawuasett town that John Eliot and Daniel Gookin visited in 1674. Thompson Hill is near the site of Quinnitasset, a 1674 Quinebaug or Nipmuck town.

Old Town Hall and Congregational Church, North side of the Meeting House Common and Green.. When the Congregational Ecclesiastical Society rebuilt their Meeting House in 1876, the Town built a Town Hall (styled after a typical school) next to it. The Society had previously provided the church basement for Town Meetings. The Society joined with the Baptists to form the Federated Church and offered the Meeting House to the town for Town Meetings. Bessa-R, 35mm f1.7 Ultron, HP5
