Easton is a quaint town, with a small town center providing all its residents with a ton of privacy. Nestled amongst a bunch of family farms, there are a few beautiful state park reserve where you can appreciate the scenic beauty of nature and all that inhabit it. With a great school system, though I might be a little prejudiced as two of my daughters teach there.
