The Village surrounds an intersection of Boston Post Road (Green on map)
and Main Street. Carriage Lane/School Street runs parallel to Main Street about 100
feet north. |

Looking from Boston Post Road (green road above), east on Main
Street. You can see the white split-rail fence around the Green directly in front of
us and the Congregational Church off to the left. Immediately on our right is the
Village Market. |
|
|
In the center of town is a large park called "The
Green." During special events (tree-lighting at Christmas, Independence Day parade
etc..) the green is very crowded with tents and booths and festivities.. photo
