About this city
Enfield is a historic, scenically breathtaking valley township situated beautifully between the high, crystal-clear spring-fed waters of Mascoma Lake and the rolling mountain peaks of Grafton County. Settled painstakingly in 1761, the town's destiny was profoundly shaped in the 19th century by the establishment of the Enfield Shaker Village, a highly successful shared-wealth utopian community renowned for its architectural precision. Today, Enfield merges its heavy agricultural and wood-milling past with luxury lakefront estate living and extensive trail networks.
