This great town is still a bit of a secret...it is a beautiful drive to get there and once you arrive, you can stroll along the main street and stop in at different boutiques and art galleries. Be sure to have lunch at the original Puckett's Grocery, now called Fox and Locke. There is another general store/restaurant called The Davis General that's worth a stop. It's a popular spot for motorcyclists and various hot rods and vintage cars. You may even see a famous person while there!
