A low sun slants across Main Street and the wooden signs of small businesses throw long shadows as your guide begins the walk. The town’s brick facades and narrow sidewalks feel older than they look — shutters, stone foundations and a quiet that makes conversation sound intimate. You move from lamp-post to lantern-lit doorway, hearing ghost stories tied to specific buildings: a tavern built in the 1760s, a Revolutionary War hospital, an 18th-century corpse house and a curious grave reported beneath a shop.
