Sharon’s clock tower stands prominently in the center of town – the embodiment of town’s revered reputation. The cherished Sharon Green, which is accentuated by numerous historic district buildings, exemplifies the meaning of a quaint New England town – a gathering place for summer concerts, the starting line for the Sharon 5-Mile Road Race, home to the annual Sharon Craft Fair, a meeting ground for the holiday tree-lighting & caroling ceremony and the point at which the town’s near 60 square acres converge.
A lively center of commerce that surrounds the Sharon Farm Market Plaza and the well-embraced town Green is immediately evident upon entering the town. Sharon’s best-kept secret, however, is Mudge Pond – the beach! Sharon Beach not only offers sandy lakeside swimming and a well-kept picnic area but the area’s only public high-dive – a 3-meter plunge that has become a local right of passage amongst adults and children alike.
It is no surprise that Sharon is a popular year-round and weekend destination for those who seek a tranquil respite. Only 2 hours from NYC, Sharon is in close proximity to Metro North’s Wassaic Station yet in the heart of the Litchfield Hills’ rolling farmland.
