With early 18th-century beginnings, this rural locality became known for its stills and distilleries where local farmers produced grains. Nowadays, busy town centers cluster around the major highway intersections, giving residents a chance to enjoy the area’s evolving culture and growing amenities." It's a good town to raise a family in," says Debbie Macurak, Realtor at Berkshire Hathaway
