Haley Farm State Park

Welcome to Haley Farm State Park located in Groton, Connecticut.

Park History: The land that is today's Haley Farm State Park was owned by John Winthrop Jr. the first Governor of Connecticut back in the 17th Century. Over time the farm changed owners many times and eventually ended up the hands of a man named Caleb Haley who operated the site as a farm in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Haley built stone walls on his farm in order to seperate one pasture from another and these walls are still standing today.

In 1963 local concerned citizens fought to save the land from development and the State of Connecticut and Groton Open Space Commission worked hard to raise money over the years. In July 1970 their efforts proved successful when the land became a Connecticut State Park. In that same month of that same year, the story was featured in Life Magazine.

For the lover of the outdoors Haley Farm State Park boasts over 7 miles of multipurpose trails. Come on out and explore.
