WINDSOR, 18.9 miles (l00 alt., 250 pop.), was named by the English who settled here about 1714. A row of old-time frame houses (L) lines the main street, but more conspicuous than those is the weathered brick GENERAL STORE (L) that for more than l00 years has served the large outlying farm district. Beyond the well-worn porch with iron posts is an interior redolent of rural life of a century ago. One display cabinet is filled with all kinds and colors of threads; another is stocked with spices. Both the cabinets and the wooden counters are even older than the potbellied stove in the center of the store.

Vineyards and nurseries thrive on the rich loam of the region, but potatoes are by far the most important crop. Prosperous farms show modern improvements and equipment, contrasting with weathered snake fences.
