Did you know that Boston Magazine named the tiny town of Sharon, Connecticut one of New England’s 15 Best Small Towns? With no downtown and a population of 3,000, you’ve probably never even heard of this place. So, how on earth did it land a spot on this list? I’ll tell you. Tucked into the Litchfield Hills, it’s basically a movie set, complete with a star-studded cast! See for yourself:
Sharon is a dreamland, with rolling hills, meadows, lakes and forests.

Much of the architecture has been preserved here as well, so you’ll find all different styles from all different eras. From the classic colonial homes…

And the stately mansions, tucked out of sight. Exploring this town is like exploring a movie studio. Except better. It’s a perfect place to take a leisurely drive and grab a quiet lunch.

So it’s no wonder why celebrities flock to this quaint town! Michael J. Fox and Kevin Bacon are among the notable residents here, where the fluid landscapes are pure magic. Who needs fake Hollywood sets when the real stuff is right here?
