Welcome to the Sharon Community Website

We hope you enjoy this Town website, your virtual introduction to Sharon's resources, events, documents and organizations.

**Check the sidebars for current happenings**

Sharon is a great place to live and a wonderful place to visit. Located beside the scenic White River, this active small community with a population just under 1400 people has a restaurant, two general stores with fuel, a post office, a public library with free 24-hour WiFi, the Sharon Congregational Church, three school campuses and an independent arts center. Local geography features the ridgetops and steep valleys along the White River tributary brooks, and close to two thousand acres of prime wildlife habitat in conservation set-asides and State Forest. The White River attracts anglers from across New England and offers opportunities for a refreshing summer run through the current or a dip in one of the quiet river pools. The town is an easy commute to western New Hampshire or central Vermont, and is conveniently accessed via Exit 2 on Interstate 89 and State Routes 14 or 132.

 

Municipal offices are housed in the Historic Town Hall, built in the 1850s. Office hours are 7:00am - 4:30pm Monday - Thursday. Our friendly staff and elected officials welcome your visit or inquiries.
