Town of Sharon in the Litchfield Hills
Known for its grand estates, the Town of Sharon is a quaint town in Litchfield County in Connecticut and a civic-minded community that is centered on an enormous Town Green featuring a handsome stone library, a red-brick historical society. Nestled in the foothills of the Berkshires, Sharon has very beautiful areas to walk or hike, providing many opportunities for recreation and a way to enjoy the scenic beauty. It is also home to lovely farm lands to visit and enjoy. A stone clock tower erected in 1885-86 welcomes visitors from neighboring New York State and still provides them with the accurate time. Residents are justly proud of the TriArts Sharon Playhouse, a summer theater that now offers productions year round. Depending on the season, you can pick your own strawberries, raspberries, apples and pumpkins at Ellsworth Hill Orchard and Berry Farm, and you can always explore flora and fauna at the Sharon Audubon Center, which has over eleven miles of scenic hiking trails on 1,147 acres of mixed forest, meadows, wetlands, ponds and streams.
Truly an historical town, but at the same time, proximity to Manhattan keeps this corner of Connecticut contemporary. The Litchfield Hills are a popular escape for city folk, who in turn have helped raise the bar for restaurants and accommodations in the area — turning what has long been a destination for antiquers into a haven for foodies, as well. Its shops and restaurants, set around the historic green and immediate area, contribute to the 18th century New England town atmosphere. And, along with the beautiful rural setting that includes the Beckley Iron Furnace State Park, Twin Lakes and the Wononskopomuc Lake, Lime Rock Park and Salisbury Ski Jumps offer many outdoor activities.
