"Wonderful art gallery with beautiful works by local artists. Such a gem! I make my aunt take me there anytime I'm in town visiting. And while you're there you'll be treated to lovely views of Shelbourne Falls. Stroll over to the glacial potholes, walk through the town untouched by time and visit the local shops. What a magical spot. Everyone is so kind and welcoming."

The people are delightful and you can just walk in and pick up and look at things without feeling that they're going to hover and worry about what you're doing.
