5.0 Gale Public Library (8 reviews)
- My weekly visit to the Gale Library nets me a half-dozen books every time.
Sunday: Spent 1-2 hours Libraries

I pass the library on my way home each night and on Thursdays I stop in to browse the used book cellar. I write books, read books, collect books, and the Gale Library has become one of the great sources for me. I also visit on Saturday morning, as the used book store is also open then too. The books are $2 for hard cover and frequently less for special occasions. I find lots of children's books for the grand kids, which I let them play with when they visit and take home with them when they go. The Gale is an historic building in town and a real gem. It's full service as a local library should be and I'm happy it's only steps from home. See more..
4.0 Trout Brook Recreation Area (2 reviews)
- Great but be prepared
Spent 2-3 hours Points of Interest & Landmarks • Scenic Walking Areas
We had a beautiful walk and the trails were great. Not too busy and not too hilly. One thing to be prepared for thought is rhat the map does not include how long the trails are and the online map is inaccurate. My family and I took the blue and red trail they said would be 2.3 and it ended up being 5 miles. So just make sure you're prepared. See more..
