The atmosphere

Because of its variety of housing, Woodbury is more socio-economically diverse than many of its neighbors in Litchfield County. Mr Drakeley, a lifelong resident, said the community was a mix of families that have remained for generations and transplants from New York City, Westchester County and other built-up places nearby, such as Southbury, Watertown and Waterbury. Ms Perkinson described Woodbury as “a hometown atmosphere, where everyone knows everyone”.
