You also can’t miss out on the historic architecture of the town that includes the majestic Castle Farms and the Earl Young Mushroom Houses, constructed by the self-taught builder starting in 1919.

If you are looking for a second home to enjoy the winter holidays, there’s no better place to play in the snow. With an average of 120 inches of snow annually, there’s a variety of winter recreation that tops the charts in the Midwest, including nearby Mt. McSauba, which ranked as one of the top three small ski areas in the United States.
