Testimonial

"For nearly half a century, my family has resided part time at Clear Lake, just outside of town. Summers were spent not just on the lake, but with the frequent forays into Buchanan. And across those years, we have seen how the town has weathered changes in the economic and social landscape. While some of the shops and stores of the past may no longer be around, Buchanan has endured when other towns have not been as fortunate. With a history rich in tradition and entrepreneurial spirit, it is obvious that the town works hard to maintain a vibrant and forward thinking approach. It speaks loudly, when in the throes of a credit crunch, that new businesses are opening up along Front St. These investors, this new generation of entrepreneurs, recognized that there was something more than the financial gain of their efforts in locating here ....they recognized the importance of their investment in the community of Buchanan. At last count, the town supports no less than one dozen social or professional clubs and associations. These groups rely on the backing and input of the individuals that reside here. All told, Buchanan generates a self- sustaining consistency to ensure its role as a town with a future. One where families enjoy a quality of life and a sense of community, supported by the efforts of many and enjoyed by all."
