very rural. Let's put it this way: Temple is so rural (and small) it shares it's police dept with Greenville (even smaller), and Sharon is looking at sharing it's with New Ipswich. Dublin is where yankee magazine is published, blink through town and you'll miss it. Antrim is a giant rock field. Peterborough is possibly the biggest of the bunch you listed, it's the artsy center and is where the community hospital is. quaint, a bit more tightly packed, but still small town. Not sure I've been to Hancock - Imight have blinked.
