It is truly amazing to find such cultural diversity in a place surrounded by beautiful lakes and mountains. Museums, libraries, arts organizations, concerts, movie and live theatre co-mingle with the great old New England traditions of fairs, Old Home Days, craft shows, antique auctions, and town parades.
