Today the compact district mixes independent boutiques, coffee shops, restaurants and a brewery within a few easy blocks, and the shaded residential streets beyond hold handsome nineteenth-century homes. Seasonal street events, outdoor concerts and the holiday parade bring crowds onto White Street. Allow a relaxed hour or two to browse, eat and wander toward the old college campus a short walk north.
