Take Time for Simple Pleasures      Discover the old world charm of a small New England town in the Farmington River Valley.  Chapin Park Bed & Breakfast is located on the Chapin Park Green in the historic Pine Meadow section of New Hartford.  It is at the base of Jones Mountain, walking distance to The Farmington River, and 5 minutes from Ratlum Mountain and Ski Sundown.       This elegant Victorian home was built in 1871 by Edward for his new wife, Mary Ellen Pike. The home is filled with the artistry of craftsmen dedicated to detail with carved black walnut relief sculpted faces and white marble fireplaces. The architect, Robert W. Hill also designed the Litchfield County Courthouse and other local public buildings. The Chapin family owned and operated the Chapin factory which manufactured rules, levels and planes for the building trade. Chapin Park Bed & Breakfast is in the historic district of Pine Meadow, which includes many former Chapin homes. This knowledge of building is reflected in the details of the materials used in the house.
