Quirky American Towns

I’ll be teaching a couple of classes this spring focusing on offbeat small towns that have some of the best the US has to offer – and almost no one knows about them.

They’ve got fabulous art, architecture, music, history, scenery, food and more. In some places, there are unique American subcultures. Other towns are just plain quirky. There’s a museum that features a 100+ foot long fish sculpture that you can climb into and hang out of its mouth. Or a town of just over 1,000 people that converted a railroad bridge into a breathtaking, three-season garden. How about ghost towns? There are loads of those, some that swear they feature real ghosts.

More to come.
