The feel of the town
Easton is a quiet, rural town where farm stands, orchards and stone walls line the roads. About half of the town is watershed land owned by the regional water company, which keeps it open and green.
There's no busy commercial strip here, but Fairfield, Westport and the Merritt Parkway are a short drive away.
