About the Area

Norwich is a town with rich tradition, a diverse population, excellent schools, and access to everything the Upper Valley has to offer. Stop by Dan and Whit's general store for anything and everything on a daily basis. Their motto is "If we don't have it, you don't need it". The Norwich Inn and Brew Pub provide a place to stay for visiting guests, local gatherings, great food, and wonderful craft beer. Carpenter and Main is the spot for high-end dining set in a 200-year-old federal-style building, and don't miss a trip to King Arthur Flour for baking supplies, fresh prepared foods, or to take a class from their world-renowned baking school. No trip to Norwich would be complete without stopping by the Norwich Farmer's Market every Saturday from 9-1 (located on Rt 5 South from May-October, inside Tracy Hall in downtown Norwich the rest of the year) for fresh meats, vegetables, cheeses, and crafts.
