rusticators
Escapees to countryside
Rusticators are people who spend time in rural areas, especially those who vacation in the countryside.
The term often carries a hint of class distinction—city dwellers who retreat to country homes or resort towns for leisure rather than necessity.
In American usage, particularly in New England, rusticators historically referred to summer visitors to coastal Maine: The rusticators arrived in June and left after Labor Day.
