Haddam

Haddam is a small town in Connecticut approximately 30 miles south of Stevens' home in Hartford.  
"Haddam is a town in a rural picturesque setting that keeps its own pace, yet is only 10 minutes from Middletown and Wesleyan University, 20 minutes from the shoreline and 30 minutes from Hartford and New Haven." 
It is located by the Connecticut River. A 2000 census revealed that only 8,366 people reside in Haddam.

The "thin men of Haddam" are mentioned in the seventh stanza of "Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird"   
O thin men of Haddam, 
Why do you imagine golden birds? 
Do you not see how the blackbird 
Walks around the feet 
Of the women about you?
Haddam also appears as a setting in "The River of Rivers in Connecticut." 
No shadow walks. The river is fateful,
Like the last one. But there is no ferryman.
He could not bend against its propelling force.It is not to be seen beneath the appearances
That tell of it. The steeple at Farmington
Stands glistening and Haddam shines and sways
