  • Get breakfast at the County Seat Restaurant—a favorite for early risers—or enjoy a cozy morning bite at Michelle’s Café. Then, stroll over to Fulmer House Books & Collectibles to browse vintage treasures and rare finds. Before heading to your next stop, swing by Canyon Coffee for a coffee flight tasting, or grab takeaway cup of their signature brew or a refreshing specialty drink.

Crooks & Co. has offered premium clothing for the whole family since 1905 — do not miss this destination if you are an avid shopper! Swing by Sparrow Books to grab a novel for your next relaxing river float or morning spent hammocking or rocking on the porch. Cross the street and visit Dan Smith’s Candies & Gifts, they have a wide selection of chocolates, truffles, ice cream, and an even better antique collection.
