This totally unrelated, but I am doing a project on Cornish. Does anyone know if the home of the painter Thomas Wilmer Dewing still exists?
ReplyDeletecornish is a great place to live because everyone minds their own business. the lack of light pollution is also incredibly appealing.
ReplyDeleteI am thrilled that Cornish still has a functioning church. It is great to worship God with local people. I only hope and pray that the church gains enough support to continue to be there for the community, for without it the town will just not be the same for me.
ReplyDeleteBorn here, raised mostly here, moved away, came back, moved away, back to raise my children here. I love this town and and though for some, new technoolgy takes too long to get here, I think it is worth the wait. I am so glad that my children will have great memories of this town, no matter where they raise there families.
ReplyDeleteI lived in Cornish during some of my elementary school years, attending the South Cornish Elementary School for part of grade one,all of grade three, and then both fifth and sixth......I lived in the Farm,originally owned by my great-grandfather, which is located at 'JONES' CORNER(S)...at the turn down what is now called, 'TownHouse' Road but which was simply called RFD2 when ;I was there....Some of my ancestors who lived on Dingleton Hill are buried in Cornish. Cornish still retains some of its rural uniqueness despite increased development in certain areas and places...It has one of the remaining libraries that still has a card catalog which adds to its charm.....I hope they never replace with digital files....
ReplyDeleteLooks like a lovely place. We have been searching for just the right place to settle, and this area seems to have a lot going for it. We like smaller schools, community based life, and such. We wanted small town life, with some good cities not more than 30-60 minutes away, and didn't want tourist towns. The fear of making friends is always there, but most people we have encountered in NH and Vt are friendly. As a writer, I have been drawn to the are for a long time now.
