At Kent’s beloved Fife ’n Drum, owner Elissa Potts brings tableside theater to life with her signature roast duck flambé and decades of hospitality. This family-run landmark, founded in 1973, remains celebrated for its classic American dishes, live music tradition, and exceptional 7,000-bottle wine cellar—an enduring destination where consistency, charm, and warm service define every visit.

In a restored 1821 church in Kent, Saturn Press is experiencing a thoughtful renaissance. Founded on a remote Maine island, the letterpress studio now blends historic craft with renewed family stewardship. With antique presses, archival-inspired designs, and meticulous hand production, Saturn Press creates timeless, tactile cards that bring art, beauty, and intention back to everyday communication.

Floral designer @rextrogers held a fun wreath making workshop at the beautiful @thelitchfieldinn today. Great way to get into the holiday spirit! We now have a new appreciation for why some wreaths costs hundreds of dollars! 😆❤️ #litchfieldcounty #litchfieldhills

As the weather has made a sharp turn to frigid, we are thrilled to see @westerlind_us has opened a capsule sized store on the cobble in Litchfield. Perfect timing to update the winter wardrobe and pick up gifts with that “cool Scandi factor”. @andreawesterlind has curated a beautiful selection of goods for us all to enjoy in her aesthetically pleasing modern stores. Another great addition to the town of Litchfield and Litchfield County. 🙌🥰 8 Cobble Court, Litchfield.
