Davis, Oklahoma
Find Turner Falls Park in Davis. It’s a favorite swimming hole for locals, where you’ll find an impressive 77ft tall waterfall that you can swim in. After taking a dip, check out the rock castle that is built into the nearby hillside.
Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania
This location is known as the “Switzerland of Pennsylvania.” Go here if you want to try white water rafting or hike your day away, then roam the quaint town afterward.
Guilford, Connecticut
This quiet small town has been around since 1639 and is considered one of the largest collections of historic homes in New England. But even if you’re not into history, the shops on the green, local seafood, and the serene marina are more than worth your trip.

My parent’s home was in Wolfeboro, NH. It was an amazing place to❤ live & visit😍.
You missed two quaint, historic California gold rush towns that sit about two miles apart in the Sierra Nevada foothills–Grass Valley and Nevada City, CA. Both towns came of age in 1849, Grass Valley having been home to four gold mines, including the largest of them all–the Empire Mine (a state park today). These towns are considered golden nuggets on the “Golden Chain”, California’s historic Highway 49–named for the “49ers” who came here hoping to “hit it big” in the gold camps. Four presidents stayed at the historic Holbrook Hotel, once known, “back in the day” for its rowdy and bawdy reputation. Filled with quaint shops and excellent restaurants , and surrounded by lush vineyards, as well as an outdoor sports paradise, the “twin towns” are best known today for the their quirky, nineteenth century Victorian architecture and their love of culture and the arts. Located halfway between Sacramento, CA and Lake Tahoe, these idyllic towns are American treasures not to be missed!
