Old Tolland County Jail and Museum, Tolland – Jerry Dougherty
Tolland, in Tolland County, is located in north-central Connecticut and utilizes the Willimantic River to make up much of its eastern border. Originally part of the town of Windsor, it was named in 1715 and incorporated in May of 1772. Tolland County was organized by the General Assembly in 1785 and Tolland was designated the county seat, bringing a jail and courthouse which, by the early 19th century, sat at the terminus of five turnpikes. Tolland’s early economy centered on farming and today the town retains much of its rural character.
