Founded in 1639. Guilford has a small, his-

toric, charming atmosphere which is high-

lighted by its rustic character and individu-

ality. Unique characteristics include the

Town Green with tree lined abutting streets

that boast the third largest collection of his-

torical homes in New England, dwellings

from the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. En-

joy the numerous boutique shops, antique

markets and art galleries that also surround

the Green as well as the historical museums

that display Guilford’s heritage.
