Kent

Kent is a lovely town in the Litchfield Hills of Connecticut.

Understand edit

Kent is quite upscale, with many large, tasteful mansions and estates on its outskirts. There are many quite old (18th- and early 19th-century), well-kept houses to see. On weekends, many people come by car and motorcycle from the New York City metropolitan area, significantly increasing vehicle and foot traffic in town.
