Discover Headwaters

Summer is a season of Doing

Bring your clubs… we have many courses to challenge your skill, including the Headwaters Golf Trail. Towns and Villages, too, invite exploration. Their history is here and now… in the intricate brickwork, carved stone and wooden details, in the warped and creaking floors, squeaky old doors and wavy windows… and on plaques that tell you who first owned the place and when it was built. Antique stores and museums will fill in the details and you can tell your kids “Your great grandmother used one of those.”

Wander the back roads… let villages surprise you with jumbled general stores and freezers full of things for dinner… with artists’ studios… church suppers and summer concerts. Come for a weekend and you might start growing roots of your own!
