Yankee Magazine Names Top 25 Foliage Towns

Yankee Magazine has named Kent, CT. as the #1 town in New England for fall foliage travel. The September/October issue celebrates the publication’s 75th anniversary and identifies the top 25 towns — the first time the magazine has ever ranked towns by this standard.

“The heart of the New England leaf-peeping experience lies in the details: the farm stands and covered bridges, the waterfalls and antiques stores that provide the eye candy, framed by the colors of our most glorious season” writes Michael Blanding, author of the article. “All of these things Kent has in abundance, in a perfect blend of uncommon natural beauty and culture that might shame cities 10 times its size (just shy of 3,000 people in the 2000 census).”
