Summertime in a Small Town

We are asked so often what there is to do in a small town in the summertime. My answer is always the same: everything!

Here's just a start:

  • Wade in the brooks — Danbury has beautiful streams perfect for cooling off
  • Visit local markets — Farm stands and country stores are overflowing with fresh produce
  • Hike Ragged Mountain — The views are worth every step
  • Help a neighbor — There's always someone who could use a hand with their garden or farm work
  • Go for a bike ride — Our country roads are perfect for cycling
  • Forage for berries — Wild blueberries and blackberries grow everywhere
  • Start a garden — It's never too late to plant something
  • Water sports — Kayaking, swimming, fishing — take your pick
  • Visit historical sites — Danbury's history is everywhere if you know where to look

The beauty of small-town summer is that the best activities are simple, free, and right outside your door. You don't need a theme park or a resort. You need a pair of boots, a sense of adventure, and maybe a sandwich from the store.

Come visit us and we'll point you in the right direction.
