The Vineyards at Old Mill Wadsworth, OH 44281 (330) 730-2025

Founded in 1814 on land owned by the Connecticut Western Reserve, Wadsworth holds the distinction of being the farthermost southern edge of the enormous land holding which Connecticut was permitted to keep while other states ceded their lands to the federal government.

Revolutionary War hero, General Elijah Wadsworth, owned a huge portion of the land. Because of this, the other landowners thought it would be appropriate to name the new settlement, Wadsworth. Elijah Wadsworth was the direct descendant of Joseph Wadsworth, who is credited for saving the charter of the Connecticut Colony by hiding the document in an oak tree in what history refers to as the Charter Oak.

This history is alive and well in Wadsworth today.
