What's Great
Browse the shops on main street, tour the park on an antique steam train, pick up lunch at the Wainwright Hotel and picnic in the park. There’s town life, farm life, the old west and a hospital.
Local Tip:
Dine in style on a beautiful patio overlooking a 1930's town square, Wednesdays through Sundays during the summer.
