In winter, put on your cross country skis, strap on some snowshoes, grab a sled or take a horse drawn sleigh ride. Revel in the season and end your day with a cup of hot chocolate hunkered down by a cozy fire.

Any time, walk the village streets, visit shops, galleries and museums. Linger a few days and experience the beauty that surrounds the hills and come to embrace Grafton’s peace and quiet charm.
