Timeline

Start at Silver Bear Distillery. It is a short walk from the landmark and offers tastings. Since the moment is in the late afternoon, check if they are open for weekday visits or plan for a Saturday when tours are offered.
15:59
Walk to the Fitch–Hoose House. This 1846 wood-frame home is a National Register site. Arrive early enough to explore the exterior and find a good vantage point facing WNW to catch the sunset direction.
16:44
Watch the sun set toward the WSW. The golden light begins around 16:01, building to sunset at 16:44. The historic house provides a quiet backdrop for the view.
17:14
End the evening at Shire Tavern. It is a short walk from the Fitch–Hoose House. Order food from their online menu if you are there between 4:30 PM and 9:30 PM on a weekday, or enjoy the pub atmosphere.
Local tip
The sun sets toward the WSW on this date. Face the house toward the WNW to see the sunset behind the structure or in the distance to the west.
