The small businesses that dot the main thoroughfare, though few, are anchors in the community, their doors opening onto a street where the pace of life is measured by the slow turning of the seasons and the steady hum of agricultural endeavors. There is a distinct character to Unionville, a grounded resilience born of a deep connection to the land and the enduring spirit of its people.
