"A town surrounded by fields and open countryside occupies a broad river valley between a high rocky slope in the foreground and distant hills in the background. Buildings, including a large church with a tall steeple, a smaller church or chapel with a square tower, a building with a classical portico, and a factory with a smokestack, line a few main streets. Many buildings appear to be houses, some with barns and sheds. Rail fences divide the fields. Trees are clustered around the buildings or arranged in rows. Some trees, including a large tree in the left foreground, appear to be evergreens. A river winds through the background, lined in places by trees. An arched stone bridge crosses a small stream in the center foreground. Two cows are in a field nearby. There appears to be a tower on the highest hill in the background. Clusters of buildings and a railroad train are barely visible in the distance."--Connecticut Museum of Culture and History collection
