Go back in time at Coal Creek historic park & museum; check out the local farmers' market and buy some fresh locally grown produce; wander up the street for a browse through the great variety of shops, share a laugh with some locals over a beer or two and grab a meal at one of many eateries; or venture further afield with with a scenic drive through our beautiful countryside.
