Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Named in honor of John Hancock, the first person to sign the Declaration of Independence, Hancock is a peaceful village that looks much the same as it did in the 19th century. Everything in the town is within walking distance, including the beach and the town square, and the downtown Main Street is lined with buildings listed on the Register of Historic Places. One of the town's most popular spots is Norway Pond, which can be used for swimming in the summer and skating in the winter. A few miles outside town is the Harris Center, a nature preserve with plenty of beautiful walking trails.
