Vermont's Grafton-It's the 'real thing'
" I am sitting in my room Barrett House, which the manager here at The Old Tavern at Grafton told me was once occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Billy Joel. Rudyard Kipling and his wife honeymooned here as well, testimony to the broad range of characters who have, at one time or another, succumbed to the summer charms of Grafton. But this 200-year-old restored village is no celebrity resort, nor is it the kind of place where teen-age girls dressed in colonial garb and Topsiders guide you around. Though its neat white houses and maple-shaded lanes appear to be some kind of idealized New England village, Grafton prides itself on being the real thing - a town where real people go about their business every day - towing hay from a nearby field, returning overdue library books, stopping for a paper in the general store, or picking up mail and gossip at the post office. " 
(from the Boston Globe, by B.J. Roche)
