All About Seymour Connecticut

The Hamlet of Seymour is on the banks of both the Housatonic and Naugatuck Rivers.  Once deemed a dying mill town has become a thriving business center and light industrial haven.  The Downtown Area has a quaint “Old World Charm” with its brick sidewalk, old fashioned street lamps, Victorian buildings (known as "painted ladies") and bustling stores.

A Main Street Icon, is the The Strand Theater.  A a charming and historic gem! The combination of its original marquee and the elegant auditorium, along with its red velvet curtains create a nostalgic and captivating atmosphere.  A great time and a blast from the past!
