Visitor & Driver Tips

While street parking along Main Street is typically free, take note of posted municipal time-limit signs (frequently enforced as 2-hour limits during regular business hours on weekdays and Saturdays). During town-wide events such as the annual Memorial Day Parade, Village Fair Days, or the holiday lighting, spaces directly along Main Street fill early; drivers should consider parking slightly further down at the municipal lot near Young\'s Field or behind Railroad Street for quick departures and minimal congestion.
