Explore & Visit
The pond, the trails, the hollow.
A small village with a lot of ground worth wandering, in every season.
Butterfield Trails
A network of wooded paths welcoming both walkers and bikers, winding through the quiet stretches around the village. Take it slow for the scenery, or push the pace on two wheels — either way, it's easy to lose an hour out here.
Best in: Spring, Summer, Fall
The Pond
The old millpond is still the heart of the village in every season — swimming and paddling through the warm months, fishing along the banks, and skating once the ice sets in. Bring your own gear; there's no lifeguard, just neighbors.
Best in: Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter
Rich's Hollow Concert Series
A revived tradition: live music at the outdoor stage at Rich's Hollow, bringing the village together the way it did generations ago. Check the events calendar for the next show, grab a blanket, and come early to get a good spot on the grass.
Best in: Spring, Summer, Fall
