Attractions

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.
