Storm Gave Tariffville Street Unique Characteristic

Unique characteristic landed this Simsbury neighborhood in a popular board game.

Simsbury holds claim to many notable people, national contributions, and historical events.

One notable event even landed Tariffville, now a part of Simsbury, in Hasbro's Trivial Pursuit!

A storm in 1955 caused the Farmington River to flood so much it toppled a bridge that connected what is now known as Main Street. Because the bridge was never replaced, Tariffville's Main Street is the only 'Main Street' in the country to dead end.
