The town’s centerpiece is the venerable Goshen Fair Grounds, which has played host since 1910 to an annual Labor Day weekend agricultural fair that celebrates the raising of livestock and growing of vegetables.  From spring to fall, the fair grounds are home to events ranging from the Litchfield Jazz Festival  and Housatonic Horse Show to the Connecticut Wine Festival and the Northwest Connecticut Dog Show. There are always exotic animals–ibex, reindeer, yak, zebra–on view at Action Wildlife, a 116 acre family-friendly not-for-profit country zoo, which has been designed to blend in with the rural New England landscape.
