There are some diverse shops and restaurants along Hope St. which should appeal to a wide variety of customers. It is a pleasant stroll away from big crowds. Enjoy!

There's a lot of "stuff" on Hope St. It is a business street, and if you are into checking out the stores, then this is a great walk. I particularly suggest the Saturday Farmers Market at Hope High School.

Lots of antique shops, cute gift shops, and lots of great little restaurants. Check in with the Visitors Tourist office at the town hall and find out what's going on in town. In the summer, there is always something happening on Hope Street.

A great street for an evening stroll in the summer, with several good restaurants on Hope or nearby: Roberto's, Persimmon, DeWolfe Tavern to name a few. Some nice antique stores sprinkled in, too...

Hope St. is more like a village than a town. You can get pretty much anything you're looking for from great food, gift and antique shops to just finding a street side cafe and enjoy watching the world go buy. This is like going on a mini vacation without leaving town. There's always something new going up and even the... More
