Visit Sprague, CT
Villages of Baltic, Hanover, Versailles

Picture
The Town of Sprague is the perfect place to live and work in eastern Connecticut.  Sprague is located right on the "border" between northeastern and southeastern Connecticut, within minutes of Rt. 395, and so is an easy (45 minutes) commute to the New London area, yet is also close (35 minutes) to both the University of Connecticut's Main Campus and Eastern Connecticut State University. Its three villages, Baltic, Hanover and Versailles, are rich in history, charm and architectural significance.  The entire Baltic Village is listed on the National Register of Historic Places; Baltic was home to one of the largest textile mills in the country.
