Stow

Welcome to Stow, a picturesque New England village preparing to face the new millennium while keeping its roots firmly planted in 300 years of history. Primarily a farming community for much of its existence, Stow's country-like character is still
evident in its open spaces, most of which are now
apple orchards, golf courses, and conservation lands.
Within these pages, you will discover the classic
charm of Stow's village center, with its pristine white church, town hall, library, and its one and only traffic light. Take a leisurely stroll past row upon row of apple trees, and learn how early settlers utilized the power of the area's small brooks and rivers. Here golfers enjoy the relaxation of four beautifully kept golf courses and nature lovers spend hours exploring Stow's many hiking trails.
