What is the Tariffville Village Association? |
The Tariffville Village Association was founded in 2003 to preserve, protect and enhance our village and its abundant natural resources, to educate the public on its history and to advance the interests of our community.

The TVA has been working with the Town of Simsbury most notably by having our Village Green and Gazebo constructed and designated as a town park. The Village Green and Gazebo has become the focal point of our Historic Village and its four areas of national recognition. Over the years the TVA has also hosted or helped organize an amazing number of fun community events: festivals, holiday sings, parades, music events, picnics, and even kayak races on our Wild and Scenic Farmington River.
Several years ago, we assisted the town in arranging for the purchase of the 63-acre Laurel Hill parcel on our mountain for open space, which we all continue to enjoy today as part of the New England National Scenic Trail. On the school side, the TVA helped to prevent the closure of Tariffville School, not once, but twice, in 2005 and 2020, thereby preserving an essential part of our community!
We also participate on a variety of town committees, and team up with other non-profits representing bicycling, natural resources, tourism, history and beautification. Our tours and presentations on everything from the railroads to our village architecture have both entertained and enlightened the public. Our overall goal has been to bring our community together for fun and educational events, to work on special projects that enhance the village, and provide a thoughtful and unified “Tariffville Voice” in the Town of Simsbury.

We hope you’ll join our fun-loving group today as we continue our efforts to bring new energy and creativity to the village, reimagining and reshaping our future together!
