The Green, surrounded with historic district homes, is a beautiful signature of the Town. There are only a handful of communities in the state that have maintained Town Greens. Throughout the year Sharon's Green reflects both nature's beauty and the community's seasonal activities where people gather for special events including the Christmas Tree Lighting and Carol Sing, The Annual Book Signing at the Hotchkiss Library and the Annual August Craft Fair.

Special to Sharon are its many landmarks and services available to its residents and surrounding communities.
