Cinemas, bowling etc are an hour away in Lewisburg.

What else should I know about the town?

       What it lacks in ammenities, it makes up for in old-fashioned small town charm. We have seen the good folks in this town come to the aid of a stranded or troubled visitor on more than a few occasions...even coming to the rescue on their day off and/or refusing compensation.
