Newton Area

The Newton Area is where Sussex County does its everyday business and its best weekend wandering. Newton is the county seat, so you get the courthouse, the Newton Theatre, and a walkable stretch of Spring Street restaurants that fill up before showtime.

Fan out from there and you find Lafayette’s mill shops and bakeries, the farm stands of Fredon and Green, Andover’s classic diner and golf, and Hampton’s craft beer, all within a short drive. Locals treat these six towns as one, and that is the easiest way to plan a day here.
