Town of Sharon

A stone clock tower, erected in 1885-86, welcomes visitors from neighboring New York State and continues to provide them with the accurate time. Known for its grand estates, Sharon is a civic-minded community centered around a large town green. The green features a handsome stone library, a red-brick historical society, and, at Christmas time, an enormous colorfully-lit tree that rivals the one at Rockefeller Center.

Residents are justly proud of the TriArts Sharon Playhouse, a summer theater that now offers productions year-round. Depending on the season, you can pick your own strawberries, raspberries, apples, and pumpkins at Ellsworth Hill Orchard and Berry Farm. You can also explore the flora and fauna at the Sharon Audubon Center, which boasts over eleven miles of scenic hiking trails across 1,147 acres of mixed forest, meadows, wetlands, ponds, and streams.
