I'm adding both towns to my "Mayberry" list, because I like the general ambiance, but I don't have any real knowledge of either other than very brief visits.
Obviously, there is a larger commercial district in Montpelier, but Thomaston has Rockland just a few miles away, and I don't spend that much time shopping, anyway.
I am more interested in the sense of community, kayaking, hiking, biking, and snow-shoeing opportunities. Mostly, I want to feel like I have a chance to become part of the whole.
If you have personal knowledge of either, or both, please feel free to inform me of the pros & cons.
