Location, Location, Location...
Nestled on a lovely hillside on the former A. C. Petersen dairy farm in Bloomfield, CT, with vistas in every direction, Seabury enjoys the perfect location. Surrounded by over 150 pastoral acres, yet convenient to so many points of interest, Seabury is located in the corridor between New York and Boston. Although located in a country setting, Seabury is just minutes from the major highways of Interstates 91 and 84, and Bradley International Airport is 10 minutes north off Route 91.
