Town & Country

America's premier lifestyle magazine for the affluent, Town & Country is an elegant publication that shares and shapes its readers' discerning tastes in fashion, travel, design, beauty, health, and the arts and antiques. Sumptuous photography and fine writing grace its pages each month.

Founded in 1846, Town & Country has the distinction of being America's oldest continuously published general-interest magazine. During its 150-plus years, the magazine has chronicled the achievements of many of the country's most famous figures, becoming an American institution itself.

Town & Country regularly receives industry recognition. Recent honors include being nominated for National Magazine Awards in the personal service and photography categories and being named to Adweek's list of the "Hottest Magazines of the Year" in 1996.
