Nestled among stately pines, blithely indifferent to the busy hum of the surrounding world, lies the old village of Summerville. To experience the true flavor of this charming and once world renowned health resort, park your car and walk or bicycle the shady winding streets. You will soon be eager to know the history which has fashioned Summerville's existence.

Summerville has maintained a graceful balance between the old and the new. Housing is readily available and ranges from economy homes, townhouse condominiums and mobile home parks to middle class subdivisions, country club residential developments and restored country properties.

Multifaceted Summerville offers something for everyone. Each spring brings the Flowertown Festival, a weekend-long arts and crafts event for the whole family. History buffs are invited to stroll the inviting lanes and peer beyond the picket fences. Car-bound children will enjoy a romp at nearby historic Old Dorchester State Park. Local restaurants, antique and specialty shops offer tempting wares. Quaint churches abound in the area.

The Town of Summerville maintains 2 lighted recreational fields, 3 parks, and 4 playgrounds with 6 lighted tennis courts within the town limits. A full range of youth recreation leagues and programs operate year round. In addition, recreational, cultural and athletic programs are offered by the Summerville Family YMCA, church groups, and other community organizations.
