About Us:

Charlestown is a historic small village in the southwestern corner of the state—the "Quiet Corner"—lying peacefully along the Connecticut River for 13 miles. Within the boundaries of the town are the smaller hamlets of North Charlestown and South Charlestown. Today Charlestown is a community of 4800 people with many churches, civic groups, and businesses.

Charlestown has the charm of antiquity, beautiful scenery and rural surroundings, a small-town atmosphere, low crime, reasonable housing costs, and convenience to excellent medical care and larger metropolitan areas to the south. Add to that cool, pleasant summers, snowy winters, every variety of outdoor sports, and the re-creation of the Fort at No. 4, a source for historians and an opportunity to become personally involved in history.

A pleasant, relaxing place to visit, Charlestown has been an appealing destination for over two centuries.
