About our location
| We're in Connecticut's Northwest Corner (Massachusetts and New York State are close neighbors) -- in the Town of Salisbury, CT (just over the town line from Falls Village), in Litchfield County. Trinity Lime Rock is located at 484 Lime Rock Road, opposite the outfield entrance of Lime Rock Park, in the Lime Rock neighborhood of Lakeville, Connecticut. And, for the next two years, we're located right on the Appalachian Trail! |

The hamlet of Lime Rock, Connecticut is served by the Post Offices of both Lakeville and Falls Village, CT. We're located in the Township of Salisbury, CT. (Yes, we know. With all these different names for the same place it can get confusing. But we do things that way here in rural NW CT.)
We're on Route 112 (which is also known as Lime Rock Road), at the corner of Dugway Road (which is currently a detour on the Appalachian Trail!). Virtually everyone has heard of our across-the-street friend, Lime Rock Park, the most beautiful auto race track in North America. We extend a special welcome to our Lime Rock Park friends. The hamlet of Lime Rock, important as it is today in auto racing, was also historically important as the hub of a now-vanished iron industry that began in Colonial times and ended around 1920. In fact, our parish owes its existence to that iron industry, and specifically to two families that were prominent in it, the Barnums and the Richardsons. If you are on the "Heritage Trail" prepared by the Tri-Corner History Council (RECOMMENDED!!), you will pass Trinity -- "The Church that Iron Built" -- in Lime Rock, stop #6 on the tour. Trinity Church is the oldest structure built by the iron industry that is still under the original ownership and still in use for its original purpose! Following the passing of the iron industry, Lime Rock also gained importance as an artists colony. Did you know that three of the more noted members of the old Lime Rock Artists Association were Vestry members at Trinity?
