About
Haddam

What's Haddam, Connecticut like?

Haddam is a historical residential town of just under 8,500 people. Located along the Connecticut River, it is known for its natural beauty, and is home to numerous state parks and forests. For some, it is a second home destination, given its idyllic setting and small town character. Haddam contains the five villages of Hidden Lake, Higganum, Shailerville, Tylerville and Haddam Neck.

As with many towns in the region, Yale University and Yale New Haven Hospital in New Haven are major employers for those who travel to work. The housing stock varies, and includes very rural homes and those in clusters along state roads.
