Our city and county are full of beautiful places to see, and many of them are extremely historic. as well. The Mary Gray Bird Sanctuary, just a short drive southwest of town, is a great place for a hike and a picnic. Many of the homes of our early industrialists and businessmen are examples of classic architectural styles. City Cemetery is the resting place of our earliest citizens. Roberts Park has a great aquatic center and excellent examples of the work done by the WPA. It also hosts the state’s oldest free fair.
