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 May 1997
