About Collinsville, Connecticut

Collinsville is a village of 3,721 people in the town of Canton, Hartford County, on the Farmington River. In 1826 the Collins Company bought an old gristmill and a few acres beside the river and began making axes there, starting with eight men who each turned out eight axes a day.

As more workers arrived, the company built homes for them and their families. It also put up a bank and a Congregational church, and the growing factory town came to be called Collinsville. Collins was the first company in the United States to sell axes ready to use, and it grew into the largest maker of axes of the nineteenth century. The company shut down in 1966 after 140 years, but its mill buildings still line the riverbank and now hold local businesses.

“Of the over 200 manufacturing villages established in Connecticut during the nineteenth century, Collinsville is one of the few that survive.”
Preservation Connecticut, 2011
  • Die casting began hereElisha Root worked for Samuel W. Collins at the axe factory. Historian Diana Muir writes that it was in Collinsville that Root invented die casting, an important technique for industry.
  • Collins tools at the North PoleCollins machetes were the favorite brand in South America, and Collins axes and picks traveled west for the California Gold Rush. Builders of the Trans-Siberian Railway used Collins tools almost exclusively, and Admiral Peary took them along to the North Pole.
  • From plow shop to museumThe company built one of its factory buildings in 1865 to finish and assemble farm plows. In 1924 it became a recreation hall for Collins workers, and Fred Widen, a company pattern maker, kept his big collection of Collins items in part of it. The Canton Historical Society now owns the building and runs it as the Canton Historical Museum, with a railroad diorama of the village upstairs.
  • The Spite HouseIn the 1800s a Collinsville butcher quarreled with his neighbor. Out of spite he built a narrow two-story building, as wide as a stairway, between their houses at 23 and 25 River Street, and used its Venetian blinds to shade the neighbor's home and hide his own yard. The butcher's son was friendly with the family next door, and he eventually tore the building down.
  • A Halloween paradeEvery year on the last Saturday of October, a Halloween parade winds through the historic village at 7 p.m., after children's activities at 6. In September 2007, Arthur Frommer's Budget Travel magazine placed Collinsville in its top 10 of America's coolest small towns.
