Reader Comments on A Sampler of New England's Prettiest Towns from YankeeMagazine.com http://www.yankeemagazine.com/rss/index.php Mon, 13 Feb 2012 00:12:34 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.yankeemagazine.com/issues/2008-05/interact/10things/smalltowns I'd love to see you include Litchfield, CT - it has the traditional town green, a white spired Congregational Church, and many original well preserved homes from the 1600's and 1700's.

It would be nice to think the rates haven't gone up....

I visited Harrisville on your recommendation and fell in love with the town. Spent a bit of time at Harrisville Designs...and left with gorgeous yarn! I will be trying to get to these little towns in the next year!

It is everything you say and more. A beautiful village off the beaten path. Sugar Hill is best seen in early June, when alll the Lupine are in bloom. As you wind through the village, you see fields of Purple Lupine everywhere. It is magnificent!

True, it's had a little help in looking so pristine and all from the wealthy Windham Foundation, which bought and restored the entire town. But there's no denying it's pretty." Just wanted to throw out there that the Windham Foundation does not own the town of Grafton in any way. While they helped restore many buildings in the village, and own The Old Tavern as well as Grafton Village Cheese, the town itself is a regular town with 600 residents. And it is a beautiful town that has a lot to offer visitors! You can find out more on the Foundation at windham-foundation.org. It's a nonprofit dedicated to promoting Vt.'s rural communities.
