We've bought a couple of paintings from the Susan P Adam gallery in Castine. Well worth checking out. Next to that little restaurant at the corner of Main & Water Sts., if you know the town.
If you are ever in the area (and I don't know why you would be, it's in the middle of nowhere, although there is a ferry from Bar Harbor) you might drive through Winter Harbor. The golf course (nine holes; my 96-year-old father plays five every day with his cronies before heading out to breakfast) is breathtaking -- overlooks the little inlet there. Moored outside the yacht club, each painted in a different color, are the Winter Harbor 21s, thought to be the oldest intact fleet of one-designs in the country. Take a loop around Grindstone Neck where there is some fine architecture (https://buildingsofnewengland.com/tag/grindstone-neck-winter-harbor/) and continue on your merry way.
Based on Muffys criteria, I don’t think Hanover, NH Is vet preppy and neither is Dartmouth College. Both of them used to be, but things change. Hanover resident for fifty years.
How ironic that so many places on this list are named after towns in the UK, yet there’s barely a single one of their namesakes that could be described as preppy, or its British equivalent!

Are there no preppy towns in Vermont? Middlebury, perhaps?
A few notes in Rhode Island: I would consider the town of East Greenwich preppy as well as the community of the East Side of Providence.

A dear friend is the grandson of a former president of Dartmouth and he would say the same.
Incredible, by the way, that between 1916 and 1970 Dartmouth had only two presidents.
Missing a few towns in Connecticut. All in the north. West Hartford, Avon, Simsbury.
