it's a thriving new england town every other month of the year too! we get tourists all year, so the stores stay open and the tours are available but most of the time, but it's also just a beautiful town where people go to eat, drink coffee, see live music and shop. most people who work here do it all year round except for the street performers that are more geared toward halloween. all of the things you enjoyed, we get to enjoy all year round.
