Goshen
is a small, rural town located in northwest Connecticut, with a population of approximately 3,000. The town of Goshen is most well-known for being home to the Connecticut Agricultural Fair. Held annually the last weekend in July on the Goshen Fairgrounds, this community non-profit event is run totally by volunteers from all over the state and offers three days of fun for the whole family. The fair includes livestock exhibits, live entertainment, old-fashioned food contests, tractor pulls and equipment displays, rides and of course - lots of great fair food. The town of Goshen includes two separate historic districts. The Goshen Historic District includes the town center and many fine examples of Greek Revival, Federal and Victorian architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982 and also includes several homes, as well as the Congregational Church and the Old St. Thomas Church. The West Goshen Historic District includes examples of Greek Revival, Federal, and Vernacular Federal architecture, with structures built as early as 1790. It is also listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
