Route description

Route 244 starts at an intersection with Route 198 in Eastford, Connecticut. It travels east, and intersects a minor road called Andert Drive. Known as The Boston Turnpike, it turns northeast before falling back on an eastward track. It intersects Taft Pond Road before passing near Nightingale Pond. Route 244 then intersects several minor roads before traveling parallel to the Vineyard Valley Golf Club as it intersects and ends at Route 97 in Pomfret Center. Northbound Route 97 serves as the continuation of the road towards U.S. Route 44 and Route 169.[1]

The section of Route 244 from Ragged Hill Road in Pomfret to the eastern terminus is designated a scenic road.[2]

History

Route 244 was, at one time, part of the Middle Boston Post Road and was one of the principal roads connecting the city of Hartford in Connecticut to Boston in Massachusetts and Providence in Rhode Island. It was established as a private toll road known as the Boston Turnpike in 1797 and reverted to a public road in 1879. On February 1, 1988, the road changed from unsigned State Road 622 (which became a state road in 1962) to Route 244.[3]
