Welcome to Brooklyn

Brooklyn was once part of the lands claimed by the Mohegan chief, Uncas. The land, deeded in 1680 to Capt. James Fitch, was sold to the first local settlers in 1703. It was settled as part of the towns of Canterbury and Pomfret with the Northeastern third having separate existence as the manorial estate of Mortlake.

Mortlake had been purchased in 1686 as a refuge for Puritans who were forced out of England with the Stuart restoration. It was not part of any town and hence neither collected taxes nor provided services to the tenants residing within its bounds. Mortlake was finally included in the community in 1752 and grew and prospered.

The Town of Brooklyn was incorporated in 1786 and in 1819 became the county seat. The large homes, the jail, the courthouse now used as the Town Hall, all reflect this period of prominence which continued through part of the nineteenth century. The Agricultural Association was formed about 1820 and continues to attracts visitors with the annual fair.

Eastern Connecticut was very much involved in the Civil War and Brooklyn was no exception. A glance at the monument will show that local men served in most of the famous battles. Mills provided clothing and the records of churches and organizations list substantial contributions in manpower. Eventually areas like West Wauregan and East Brooklyn were built around textile mills. For a time, the center of Brooklyn supported a bank (now the library), and a newspaper, as well as several stores.

In more recent times Brooklyn has developed into two distinct areas. The central and western parts have continued along a residential and rural path, whereas the eastern sector has become predominantly commercial. Many of the old churches and homes have been restored. The old Court House has been internally renovated to provide town office facilities, but the colonial exterior was left unchanged.

Thank you for your interest in our family estate.

Four generations of our family have tended to these idyllic Windham County hills; studded with stoned-lined pastures, rolling hay fields and unhindered views of the Quinebaug Valley. Each generation has set their hand to this historic land, cultivating it into the peaceful and prosperous property it is today. From the success of the Golden Lamb Buttery to the bountiful hay fields, this piece of New England has blessed us abundantly.

The first visionary was H.B. Booth, an Englishman set on making a gentlemen’s farm in beautiful Connecticut. It was by his meticulous eye that the rural landscape yielded to manicured lawns and domesticated fields that is known as Hillandale Farms. Besides being a picturesque plot, H.B. also ran Hillandale Handweavers, a world-renown textile manufacturing company out of an old carriage barn which still stands today on an adjacent property.

H.B. reaped the benefits of his hard work in the form of fertile land, a booming business and even groundbreaking technological innovations. In the early 1940’s, while plowing his fields (the same fields infamous General Israel Putnam abandoned his plow for the Revolutionary War), H.B. had an idea which turned into the PhotoMetriC camera system, a device which revolutionized custom garment making. This unique tailoring process, featuring 8 angled mirrors, now finds its home in the Smithsonian.

H.B.’s son Bob, a WW2 pilot, returned home after the war and fell in love with the clover-linedpastures a countryside charm his father had created. Not long after, he met his wife, theenigmatic Virginia “Jimmie” Wagoner, a former buyer for Lord and Taylor. Together the couple transformed the barn and adjoining art studio into a simple yet elegant countryside restaurant, the Golden Lamb Buttery. Over the years, as the Farm clothed and fed customers from all over New England and beyond, the humble restaurant grew in reputation. What started as a way to feed traveling customers, turned into an event of its own. By the mid-70’s, the main business shifted from textile production to a popular top-tier restaurant with beautiful grounds and still-active farming.

Today, you can find H.B.’s grandson and the youngest of Bob and Jimmie’s sons, Jim still tending the land. The Golden Lamb Buttery awaits its next chapter, standing as a proud historic beacon at the end of a maple shaded lane, housing decades of memories and awaiting decades more. The surrounding Hillandale Farms, home to abundant acreage and plentiful farming fields, awaits the next visionary to leave their mark on this historic land.

Local legends say this property was the first to have electricity in the area and before that, it was home to the infamous wolf hunt of General Putnam. Under its trees and in its fields, 80 years of agriculture have been harvested. Within its buildings, businesses have boomed and become local landmarks. We are proud of this historic piece of New England and are excited to pass on its legacy.
