Roger Sherman Town Hall

New Milford Town Hall, home to the town’s municipal government offices, is richly steeped in history. It bears the name of one of the community’s most notable residents, Roger Sherman, the only individual to have signed all four foundational documents of the United States: the Articles of Association of the First Continental Congress, the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, and the U.S. Constitution.

The brick town hall stands on the site where the prominent businessman, lawyer, and statesman once lived. Facing the town green, the Colonial Revival-style building retains its 19th-century character, with many original doors, windows, and hardware still intact. Today, it functions both as the center of municipal government and as a historic backdrop to New Milford’s everyday civic life.
