    How about Dawsonville, ga. It houses the Racing Hall of fame museum, moonshine museum and holds a moonshine festival each year in October .
    It’s located about 20 miles north of Atlanta.

    Fergus Falls Minnesota
    The heart of the lakes area in Otter Tail County, with multiple lakes and resorts within a 20 mile radius This quaint small town has low crime rate and multiple sites to see. In the area are several smaller towns that each include large oversized cement statutes The Otter in Fergus Falls , the Prairie Chicken in Rothsay, the Pelican in Pelican Rapids , a large foot, coffee cup etc in Vining, the large cat fish in Breckinridge.
