Main Street is the heart of our town. It's the place where we come together each year to create unforgettable memories. Whether it's attending a Fall Foliage Festival & Car/Motorcycle Show in September, shopping, dining, watching parades, movies, live concerts, bowling and axe throwing leagues, visiting museums and craft breweries, attending events and the community college, or working out at the YMCA, Main Street has it all!
