Surrounding the Historic Courthouse is the City’s diverse and lively downtown district. A number of unique specialty shops, professional offices, restaurants and taverns line the square. Local civic and special interest groups organize a variety of social gatherings and events, such as the summer long Concerts on the Square, the bi-annual Cheese Days, which brings in nearly 100,000 visitors, holiday parades, a Chili Cook Off and a bi-weekly farmer’s market.
