Moose Meadow Village
On the road heading west, after cresting a knoll where a Methodist Meeting House, the Tolland County Moose Meadow District Post Office, forge mill and a number of dwellings were located in the mid 1800s. Moose Meadow is to the north, on the right. Moose Meadow as a place name shows up in town records as early as 1716, four years prior to the township grant, and is often mentioned along with Roaring Brook as a landmark. A working assumption is that a tavern was located near here on what was at the time a post road, hence the location of the Post Office. The next stop to the east would have been at the north end of Troop's Hill in Ashford, and then on to Richardson's tavern in Westford village (not to be confused with Westford Hill aka Troop's Hill, White Pine Hill.
This road is present day Turnpike Road, the old Center Turnpike, previously Hartford Old Road, heading towards Roaring Brook, a crossing over the Willimantic River and on to the routes through Tolland pointing to Bolton Notch and Hartford, and over the hills to Windsor.
