Pomfret has no formal town center due to the town's significant southward expansion after its establishment, first around [[Mortlake, Connecticut|Mortlake]], later absorbing that town. The town office is located on US Route 44. The Congregational Church, until its destruction by fire on December 7, 2013, stood on the eastern edge of the old town green on Pomfret Hill, across from the [[Pomfret School]], a college preparatory school founded in 1894. Approximately one mile north of the [[Congregational church|Congregational Church]] site is Christ [[Episcopal Church in the United States of America|Episcopal Church]], which contains several windows designed and constructed by [[Louis Comfort Tiffany]]. Across from Christ Church on the west side of Route 44 is the Rectory School,<ref>[http://www.rectoryschool.org/ Rectory School]</ref> founded in 1920. At the divergence point of US 44 and CT 169 is Most Holy Trinity [[Roman Catholic Church]].

Town House Road is the location of the historic [[Pomfret Town House]], built in 1841 at a location chosen by a committee of Selectmen from neighboring towns when Pomfret citizens could not agree on a location; it is listed on the National Register. Pomfret First Church was established in today's Pomfret Hill area; Pomfret Second Church covered what is largely today's Town of Brooklyn; while Pomfret Third Church was established in today's Abington area.
