Is there a town in the northeastern United states or southeastern Canada that is like the town in the t.v. series Northern exposure?

Wikipedia says Roslyn, Washington.

Hayfork, California

Where they filmed the show.

When you say “atmosphere,” do you mean the climate and appearance, or are you asking where to find quirky people?

If there is such a place, I suspect it would be in Vermont or Maine. Possibly upstate New York. If you bankroll me, I’d be happy to do the research on this.

I don’t know anything about Canada other than the US wears it like a hat. And some good comedians come from there.

California and Washington state are North but they aren’t very East.

Looking at the thread again, I suspect the question was edited to specify NE after the first few answers, I am sure you all know geography as well as I do and i should have refrained from pointing out the obvious.

Where to find Quirky people in a New England town (Or a SE Canadian town across the border), surrounded by nature, that hasn’t a touristy feel…
