Neighborhoods

Historic Stanton is a great place to spend the afternoon and evening. Walk through the renovated downtown, take in a show at the Black Fryer Theater and have dinner at one of the many local restaurants. There are lots of small shops and the Abraham Lincoln museum, among many other attractions. We highly recommend spending a day here. Even just getting on the trolley and riding around the town would be a great and relaxing experience.
