The Town Green

8/5/12
fountain at entrance to town green

     Our town, although not lacking in parks and huge, old trees and wooded areas, also has a central town green.

     It has an entrance fountain, landscaping with trees, bushes and flowers, walkways, benches,  a performance area, and free Wi-Fi.

     Walk with me through the town green via the following photos I took there one recent morning.

     The entrance plaza to the green has many pots of flowers that are grown in the town greenhouse.

     The performance area has free concerts of a range of music including jazz, blues, folk, rock, bluegrass, as well as dance, readings, and town events like Oktoberfest.

Freeman House

     At the back end of the green sits the Freeman House Store and Museum, built in 1859.  It was built as a dwelling and general store.

     One of the many perimeter gardens at the boundary of the green with rudbeckia, echinacea and hosta.  I hope you enjoyed this walk around our town green.
