What are some of the best small towns you've ever visited or lived in?

My picks:

Berea, Kentucky
- huge amount of Appalachian arts and crafts stores
- home to Berea College, a highly prestigious school where low income students get a free 4 year education. Also first Southern school to allow Blacks and women.
- great economy, population has nearly DOUBLED just since 2000!
- located at the foot of the Appalachian Mountains, great hiking trails just 3 miles from Downtown
- Bike trails are everywhere (this is b/c Berea College students are prohibited cars until they're a junior)










Danville, KY
- site of first: post office west of the Appalachians, site of first abdominal surgery, state supported school for the deaf
- known as "Title town Kentucky" for its HUGE amount of state football championships

My nephew lives in Breckenridge! He's from CA and loves it there!

My votes, Willard, MO and Monroe, GA (both towns I've lived in and LOVE) Madison, GA, would love to live there!
