This attraction will certainly be a great visit for the winter, however, the fall will certainly have a different type of ambiance during the Fall.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine.
