The Thomaston Opera House, a Litchfield County treasure, first opened its doors in
1884. Its stunning hand-painted frescoes, created in the Eastlake Victorian style, once adorned the grand ceiling with over 180 colors. After decades of neglect, dust, and water damage, the intricate artwork was hidden—until now.

While driving through Canaan the other day we stopped in to say hi to Cody, the owner of @hunkyhoundhandlers 1) Canaan has some super cute stuff going on and 2) if you need a dog expert to tell you all about nutrition, supplements, training, and behavior…Cody is passionate about what he does, has a wealth of knowledge, and a great selection of everything. We had so much fun picking out treats for our puppy bouvier. She loves everything that Cody recommended! Puppy approved! #puppylove #canaanct #litchfieldcounty #nwct #dognutrition
