1. Leavenworth, Washington
This town has a Bavarian village feel that makes it a must-visit during Oktoberfest and during the holiday season. Take in spectacular views of the Pacific Northwest on nearby hiking trails or just take it easy with some shopping and wine tasting.
2. Harpers Ferry, West Virginia
This tiny town is located on the Shannendoah River and the ideal getaway for nature lovers. There are eight (yes, eight) national parks and heritage sites to visit in the area.
3. St. Simons Island, Georgia
History buffs and beach lovers alike will love this small island town off the Georgia coast. There, you can golf, fish, and visit plenty of historical monuments, and you can’t miss climbing to the top of the St. Simons lighthouse to see the view of the entire island.
4. Bisbee, Arizona
Back in the day, Bisbee was a major silver and copper mining hub, but now it’s a quaint small town home to artists and retirees. With houses on cliffs’ edges and a mine cavern that you can still explore, it’s pretty picturesque.
5. Perdido Key, Florida
In this town, you can skip the touristy parts of the state and relax by the (much less crowded) beach. With fishing, boating, snorkeling, multiple golf courses, and more, there’s a little something for everyone.

It’s nice to know they haven’t destroyed all our history
and quaint little villages.
I am having a hard time deciding where to visit first. Being a history buff, I would love to visit them all!
Places you should consider for this:
Ligionier, PA: In the Laurel Highlands of Western Pennsylvania. It has a super quaint town square, with many unique shops, the revolutionary war Ft. Ligioner, and Joes Bar, an old sportmans club with more animal heads on the walls than you will ever see anywhere else.
amazing pictures
So happy to see my hometown – Boone, North Carolina. The picture shown does not do justice to this beautiful mountain town with an impressive college, many lovely homes and churches.
