Continue to follow Route 44W for several miles, once you reach the first and only traffic light you are located in the center of Chepachet. If you decide to follow Route 44W through the rest of Glocester you will reach Putnam Connecticut within 10 miles.

The historical town of Chepachet is easily accessible by foot. You can walk across the town in less than an hour.
