One Saturday, when I was there, they had a car show on the square downtown. An art studio with original paintings was nearby, and an old hardware store over 150 years old. You could hear the old wood floor crankling as we walked through.
Also a few antique stores and restaurants, an ice cream parlor, and even a hotel that has been around since 1898, and yes, you can still stay there. The Fitzpatrick Hotel is still open for business!
