Walton is a very small town that was founded in 1785. There are approximately 5,000 people living here. Along with the attractions our town has to bring you here, there are also many other attractions. Located in nearby Cooperstown is the Baseball Hall of Fame, and Oneonta has the National Soccer Hall of Fame and Hall of Fame Playing Fields. This area boasts of world famous natural attractions, as well. There are majestic mountains. Miles of rivers and streams. The weather of this area is ever changing and interestingly unique. From Fall, to Winter, to Spring and to Summer. Each season change is defined and pronounced, as well as enticing to tourists and photographers. The serenity of the Fall, with it's interesting clash of colors of the trees changing colors against a pristine blue sky is rather breathtaking. The Winter's wonderfully white blanket of snow creates a rustic feel, with the numerous cabins that dot the mountain sides. Spring offers a look at new life being formed and shaped from the fallen leaves of Fall. The greenery is a site to be seen, as  Mother Nature sends her offspring of freshly born animals scurrying into the fields for nourishment. A pair of binoculars is a wise choice. When Summer springs itself onto this area, things heat up. It becomes comfortably warm, with evenings of cool breezes ... nights made for strolls in the local parks. The local baseball farm team, or "Single A" for the Detroit Tigers is a great way to spend a summer evening. If you feel like traveling, there is also a "Double AA" farm team in Binghamton, NY. Namely, The Binghamton Mets. There are many, many more attractions for this area such as fishing, guided tours, and many eateries to suit all tastes There als is, of course, shopping. Lodging ranges from purely elegant, to simply rustic and comfortable.  There are numerous Bed and Breakfasts in this area.

If you have ever had to urge to relax and enjoy the finer things in life, then Walton is a place you'd want to at least visit. Since it is so laid back, we have attracted a lot of celebrities to live here. I'd rather not name all on here, but we do have a good number of them that live here now. It's a place to "raise children."  Employment here isn't exactly booming right now, but the town officials are trying their hardest to bring good manufacturing jobs here. So, if you are looking to move your company, we have the land and skilled workers that can handle the work!

Me at the creek behind my house. A nice little spot.	Imagine living here? You should see the view it has.	A look across the valley.
Gives you a warm feeling...	View of the village below.	Excuse Eric's arm.
Just off St. Rt. 206	Nice valley view.	A view of forever.
Notice the depth.	View of nature.	A road-side stream.
Broken down lodge.	Another hunting shanty.	A stunning picture. Almost divine, even.

A picture can't do this place any justice.	A stunning view.	A wider view.
Look at the color here.	Shimering Waters.	It doesn't look like it is 120' deep, right?
