Review:
Named in honor of Deacon Benjamin Chaplin, one of the first settlers in the area, the town of Chaplin is unique in that it was purposefully constructed on a site that had experienced no prior settlement.
The historic town center has hardly changed since it was originally built in the early 19th century, and it's full of beautiful wood-frame houses as well as significant public buildings like a church built in 1812 and an old town hall from 1840.
On the way out of town, visitors can stop by the picturesque Natchaug River or go for a quick hike in the Natchaug State Forest. Chaplin Map
