Thomaston enjoys a very large
historic district with beautiful homes from the period of 1790 to the late
1800s. Almost all of the buildings remain private residences. The business
section of the village has stayed much the way it appeared in the mid
1800s with the exteriors of the buildings reflecting the general design
of the historic retail shops and the interiors having been modernized
for efficiency and convenience. The end result is very pleasing to the
eye and the variety of businesses allows one to do a good deal of necessary
shopping right in town. Although the village has retained much of its past,
for the size of its population (approximately 3,000 residents) it has an
astonishing number of banks (2), museums (4), antique shops (4) theater
companies (2), and a host of other cultural groups. |
