Founded in 1806, Canton is the smallest of the valley towns, but is now also the fastest growing. It is basically made up of four villages: Collinsville, a center of a lively artist community, with its spectacular examples of early Victorian architecture, Canton Center, a small village along Cherry Brook Road, North Canton where several of the newer subdivisions are sprouting up, and Canton Village, the retail district along Route 44 with a variety of commercial services, antique shops and The Artist's Guild art gallery. Canton blends historic charm, rural, suburban and retail in distinctive fashion.

Some of Canton's Special Places

Downtown Collinsville

A "Currier & Ives" picture from every angle, the village of Collinsville is the heart of Canton. Located by the river with steep hills in the distance, the village beckons you to visit its quaint specialty shops, fine restaurants, the quintessential New England church, and even the official Canton Town Hall.

The Canton Historical Museum
Located in picturesque downtown Collinsville, volunteers have gathered an interesting collection of town memorabilia.

The River Walk in Collinsville
What a beautiful scenic area this is alongside the Farmington River. You can walk the boardwalk or relax on a bench and take in the views.

The Shoppes at Farmington Valley
Located on Route 44 where a public golf course used to be, is the newest and largest retail development in the area. Several popular and well known shops, restaurants and food outlets are here.

The Collins Co. Axe Factory
This group of brick mill buildings along the Farmington River is a piece of early Collinsville history. Since the mid-1960's, these quaint buildings house art studios/workshops and antiques shops.

Collinsville Canoe & Kayak
Right alongside the Farmington River, here is where you can rent a canoe and paddle on the flatwater right out back.

The Canton General Store
Over 100 years old, this store is still heated by a wood stove and delivering groceries along with your pizza!

The Roaring Brook Nature Center
Tucked in the woods on Gracey Road, is this very active nature center with programs for kids and adults, i.e. nature walks, instructional programs, and a very popular folk music concert series in their program room. www.roaringbrook.org
