exquisite restaurants. The diverse collection of reading materials
and novelties found in the town's bookstore attracts residents and
visitors alike.

children.

landscaped public parks, ball fields, tennis courts and skating
ponds keep residents active throughout the seasons. In addition, a
private country club hosts a variety of social events and maintains
a challenging course for golfers, and an entertaining nature center
offers everything from sheep shearing to maple syrup making.
Social and cultural organizations abound in New Canaan, and include
an active Historical Society, Audubon Society, garden clubs and
Newcomers Club. The Silvermine Guild and local artists sponsor many
