Sharon is a lovely rural community located in Litchfield County’s northwest corner. The town, which typifies an 18th-century New England village, was incorporated in October of 1739 and has a current population of about 2,800 residents. Its inviting, shaded village green – one of the largest in the state – is surrounded by beautifully maintained historic homes and serves as the focal point of the town. Here, residents gather for special events including the Christmas Tree Lighting and Carol Sing, the annual Sharon Classic Road Race to benefit the town’s daycare programs, and a popular craft sale that takes place each August.
Sharon is home to many respected attractions and entities including the Sharon Audubon Center, the Tri-Arts Playhouse, the Sharon Historical Society, Sharon Hospital and the Hotchkiss Library. The terrain within its 59 square miles is wide and varied, from the Housatonic River Valley on the town’s eastern flank to the highlands in its center to the rolling farms in the west. There are multiple conservation areas, forests and recreation spaces including the Appalachian Trail. Sharon is ideally located about 10 minutes from a Metro-North train station. Many notable artists, writers, actors and entrepreneurs seeking small-town charm in a rural, private setting have purchased weekend homes in Sharon over the years.
