Putnam's antique shops and restaurants draw visitors from across the region, so many cited here are out-of-towners — with tickets heard at Danielson Superior Court (GA11).
Putnam sits in the far northeast corner of Connecticut, on the Quinebaug River where the state meets Rhode Island. Known in colonial times as Aspinock and long part of Killingly, it became its own town only in 1855, assembled from pieces of Killingly, Pomfret, and Thompson and named for General Israel Putnam, the Revolutionary hero from nearby Pomfret. Unlike its older neighbors, Putnam is very much a child of the industrial age — a mill town that grew up around the falls of the Quinebaug.
The river was everything. Benjamin Cargill had run a grist mill at the falls since 1730, but the decisive moment came in 1807, when the Rhode Islanders Smith Wilkinson and James Rhodes built what is recognized as Connecticut’s first cotton mill at Cargill Falls. The textile industry that followed, together with the arrival of the railroad, made Putnam a busy manufacturing and rail center through the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, its downtown packed with brick mills and commercial blocks.
When the mills declined, Putnam reinvented itself in a way few mill towns have managed. Beginning in the late twentieth century, entrepreneurs filled the empty downtown buildings with antique shops, and Putnam became known as the Antique Capital of the Northeast, drawing collectors and browsers from across New England. In more recent years the antique trade has been joined by restaurants, galleries, and a lively arts scene, turning the riverside downtown into a genuine destination — a rare second life for an old industrial center.
All of those visitors arrive by car, and the town’s roads carry them. Interstate 395 runs north and south past Putnam, U.S. Route 44 crosses east and west toward Rhode Island, and Routes 12, 21, and 171 feed the downtown. Many of the drivers cited here are visitors unfamiliar with the area rather than residents, and enforcement on these roads is steady. We follow these corridors and the equipment used along them, which is generally where the violations described below begin.

Connecticut has two very different camera systems watching drivers. One mails you a $50 fine. The other, Flock, feeds police investigations. Here's how to tell them apart.
Read Article →You're not required to hire one, but a ticket can carry more than a fine — points on your license and a possible insurance increase. An attorney who handles Connecticut traffic matters can review your options and frequently appear for you so you don't have to take time off, whether you live in Putnam or were just visiting.
Continuances buy time but don't resolve anything on their own. Pushing the case off again and again usually just stretches it out. It's generally better to have the ticket reviewed and a real strategy chosen.
Putnam is served by Danielson Superior Court (GA11), the geographical-area courthouse that handles motor-vehicle matters for the town and the rest of the northeastern Quiet Corner.
For many traffic matters an attorney can appear at the Danielson courthouse on your behalf, so you may not need to attend yourself — useful if you don't live nearby. We can review your ticket and explain what your appearance would involve.
Depending on the violation and your record, a conviction can add points to your Connecticut license and may affect your insurance; out-of-state drivers may see it reported to their home state. How serious that is depends on the specifics, which is why it helps to review the ticket first.
Free phone consultation. Flat fee. We do the rest — most clients never set foot in court.
