Exploring America’s Small Quirky American Towns, with Karen Gershowitz

Exploring America’s Small Quirky American Towns, with Karen Gershowitz
April 16, 2024 @ 10:30-11:45am
A surprising number of offbeat small towns have the best the US has to offer – and almost no one knows about them. They’ve got fabulous art, architecture, music, history, scenery, food and more. In some places, there are unique American subcultures. For example, Breaux Bridge, Louisiana, is considered the heart of Cajun Country. Other towns are just plain quirky. Imagine visiting a museum that features a 100+ foot long fish sculpture that you can climb into and hang out of its mouth. Or a town of just over 1,000 people that converted a railroad bridge into a breathtaking, three-season garden. How about ghost towns? There are loads of those, some that swear they feature real ghosts. Karen will illustrate photos she has taken on her travels and tell us about what makes each place unique. She has written two books about travel, Wanderlust and Travel Mania (which she spoke about previously at CL&L).
