In the 19th century, Philipsburg was a thriving mining town, but now the historic town has a lot to offer visitors; it’s where you can find the antique variety’s treasures. If all that searching has you parched, there’s no better way to quench your thirst than at the Philipsburg Brewing Company, housed in the historic Sayers building.
Although Philipsburg is home to less than 1,000 residents, it doesn’t stop them from celebrating a wide variety of festivals and annual events.
Massachusetts: Stockbridge
About 130 miles west of Boston sits Stockbridge, neatly tucked into the Berkshire hills; this little town represents to many the very best of small-town New England. What began as a small village prospered to a resort town with the most famous Main Street in America thanks to a memorable Norman Rockwell painting.
Stockbridge has often been described as quintessential small-town America. This beautiful western town in Massachusetts inspired Norman Rockwell's artwork ... and perhaps hundreds of more families to settle down here. The town is magical during the holiday season, with old-fashioned decor trimming the streets.
Michigan: Saugatuck
Although Saugatuck sits in what's known to be the state's Bible belt, the town is an artsy, waterfront resort town in West Michigan. This charming little beach town and famed art colony have been a favorite for many as their summer destination for years.
The main attraction is the lovely Oval Beach, of course, but there are loads to do in town, like sampling local wines at Fenn Valley Tasting Room.
Nevada: Minden
Minden isn't exactly the kind of place you think of when you hear "Nevada small town." Its residential neighborhoods boast comparatively leafy tree-lined streets due to its position bordering the forest and the desert.
This being Nevada, you can go have a bit of a gamble at the Carson Valley Inn — or take in the beauty of the Topaz Lake State Park.
New York: Cold Spring
The small town in New York called Cold Spring has long been a favorite of day-trippers that radiates charm and an abundance of things to see and do for one weekend or many. We can guess that many might have decided to relocate after a particularly picturesque glimpse of the darling downtown in Cold Spring.
This place seems like the recipe for a peaceful afternoon while strolling through Main Street and then sitting by the waterfront to watch the Hudson River.
