The best pizza around except for Nancy's homemade. They use many fresh local ingredients. It is better fresh out of the oven, though take out is available. You can bring your own alcohol.

They have an outdoor patio. This place can be as casual as a drink at the bar, but they also have many nice budget friendly meal options with a wide ranging menu. The fish or pork tacos are a bargain and are quite delicious.

An historic house not to be missed. Gardens and hiking trails abound. Adjoining the Park-McCullough house are the "mile around woods". There are two entrances from the road just past the Park-McCullough hHouse which are marked by gates. The first entrance leads to the mile around wooded trail. The second gate leads to the fields. Of course both spots connect, and you can do a big loop through both. Even if you just walk to the top of the field, this is my favorite spot to sit up on a hill and take in a great view, and it is the perfect spot for a picnic. The walking is easy, and you cannot get lost. Day light hours only.
