It's not difficult to imagine an idyllic New England village. At dusk, lamps in the windows of white clapboard homes cast a soft glow on the snow-covered ground.
Wreaths hang over the entrances to covered bridges located throughout town.
The town square, adorned with Christmas lights, is home to neighborhood pubs where locals' mugs hang from hooks on the walls. Cozy storefronts beckon you to pass your hours mulling over shelves of books, perusing handmade crafts or indulging in a repast filled with local staples like Indian pudding with real maple syrup. Each season brings its own distinctive charm. Come springtime, the warmth encourages a picnic or leisurely stroll down a shady street. The summertime is perfect for a round of golf, horseback riding or canoeing on a nearby lake.
