Museum of Costume Jewelry
Chanel to Dior, all 20th-century costume jewelry, stuffed into a tiny downtown museum that's the only one of its kind in the country. It's odd and it's fun.
Omni Grove Park Inn Locals’ pick
Everyone should see the 1913 stone resort once, even if it's just to wander the Great Hall. Time it for sunset cocktails on the Sunset Terrace... the whole valley lights up.
