Well-preserved, historic homes are found along tree-lined streets bordered with wooden picket fences, many proudly displaying Old Glory from their cozy front porches. The town contains extensive open space, while its Main Street reflects quintessential New England charm, and its quaint downtown hub is home to a healthy business district comprising an assortment of eateries, small markets, antiques shops and boutiques. Durham is also home to the Durham Dari Serve, a venerable drive-in ice cream stand on Main Street and a popular summer hot spot for those heading to or returning from Hammonasset Beach State Park in nearby Madison, as well as for residents looking for a cool treat on a steamy summer night. But perhaps the most popular annual attraction is the town’s well-known Durham Fair. Each fall, residents and visitors head to the highly anticipated, volunteer-run agricultural fair, which has been delighting fairgoers of all ages for generations.
