The preservation of agriculture land and farming, and the conservation of historical sites has been a priority in this area for several decades. Even the picturesque town hall, constructed in 2015 on the site of the old one, is located on an urban, residential street set in landscaped gardens. As of 2010, Dracut was believed to be the only town in the world with that name.

The geographic location and natural beauty of this district is a draw for new businesses with well-paying jobs and creates a better place for all to live and work.

Dunlap sanctuary is an 85 acre easy hiking trail passing a beaver dam and loops around the shore of Big pond. Here you will have the chance to see birds and small animals in their natural habitat, perhaps even a deer. The town and its rural area have many more walking and hiking trails that pass through farmlands and woods, some skirting around lakes. The town is intent on the preservation and appreciation of the region’s natural, farm and recreational lands. One of their regular festivities is the annual craft fair, held at the Colburn/Cutter House, an 18th Century building with enormous beamed ceilings and a large center chimney.

Property in the town is very diverse. No matter what your property preference, this picturesque town has historic neighborhoods, areas with great shopping, and a good selection of delightful cafés and refined restaurants.

Dotted in rural areas are historic homes, some of which have been renovated and divided either into apartments or duplexes. New constructions have sprung up, some close to the Merrimack River, and are very much in demand. City dwellers that move to rural areas are more used to modern buildings and many prefer to purchase a condo with which there is very little maintenance. Most condos have a Home Owner Association (HOA) and the majority of them have a monthly or quarterly fee, which will differ with each association and include different amenities. Some HOAs now cover all building maintenance, Master insurance, landscaping and snow removal along with recreational facilities.
