A colonial era plantation that's more impressive on the inside than out. The head guide is very knowledgeable about the early history of the area. Great place to take the parents when they visit from out of town.
Usually has a group playing music with people dancing along. Can eat food there and try a wine tasting. Fun place to watch people.
Old-style movie theater from the 1930s that was renovated by the community in the late 1990s. In addition to daily screenings of current quirky/arty movies, it hosts local screenings and live events several times a month, so check the schedule on the website.
169-acre park on the edge of town. Nice place to go for a walk through undeveloped countryside.
A quick 5-minute drive up the mountain from the edge of town. Go for a walk around a dammed up pond on top of the mountain, taking in the pretty scenery. Connects to an extensive trail system for hiking and mountain biking.
