blue spiral 1 Locals’ pick
Three floors of serious contemporary work from regional artists, and our favorite gallery downtown. Free to walk through, and worth it even if you're just browsing.

Museum of Costume Jewelry
A tiny downtown museum, the only one of its kind in the country, stuffed with 20th-century costume jewelry from Chanel to Dior. It's odd, it's specific, and it's genuinely fun.

Omni Grove Park Inn Locals’ pick
The historic 1913 stone resort everyone should see once, even if it's just to wander the Great Hall. Time it for sunset cocktails on the Sunset Terrace, when the whole valley lights up.
Grove Arcade Locals’ pick
A gorgeous 1929 landmark downtown, now an indoor market packed with local shops and restaurants under one vaulted roof. It's a great rainy-day wander with lunch built right in. Go slow and look up at the stonework.
