The joy of living in Colchester is the community that is created here.

Please see the slideshow and notice that many of the activities are tied together.

Not only are there sunsets on the lake, there are sunsets at Sunset Drive-in.

Not only do the members of Malletts Bay Congregational Church enjoy a potluck in the backyard of their church, they meet and greet at the Colchester Farmers Market.

Those of us, who are lucky enough to live in Colchester all year round, can see not only do we cherish our neighborhoods, and what makes Colchester, Colchester

Shelburne Museum celebrates a part of our history in the Colchester Lighthouse every day.

Sometimes the most fun travel experience is in your own backyard!

When it comes to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved vacations and/or going to see new spots we have never been before, the truth of expense and budgeting is always in the back of our mind. Organizing and expending our travel budget wisely is a main concern for most families. Minimizing spending and charges, while still taking pleasure in your vacation to its fullest, is the key to assured success and fiscal responsibility. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The reasoning regarding protecting money while vacationing is simple: Even if your personal funds is really limited, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or departing the homestead! Also recalling that while traveling, regardless of whether on a budget or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a big vacation or travel expenses!..". Thank you!
