City/Town Information
The center of town. Arts and crafts and various fairs are frequently hosted here throughout the year. Kids love playing on the expansive lawn and throwing coins in the fountain. Live music and dancing in the summer. Winter events include the annual Christmas lights parade and New Year’s Eve “Boot Drop.” It's a working courthouse but can be entered and self-toured by the public. Worth a look inside as the building is quite historic.
