The best of small-town America
Love Exploring posted a recent article that talked about "small-town" America and places to visit. "In every US state, there are plenty of overlooked places, from relaxed spots with an Old West vibe to smart villages packed with galleries and boutiques."
When it comes to New Jersey, Love Exploring selected a town in Hunterdon County that's located along the Delaware River. The small town of Frenchtown was selected as a great place to visit. "Gloriously quaint, the main area of this small town has a distinctly European feel about it, with streets lined with little cafés. The town celebrates its French heritage with a big Bastille Day bash in summer and the outdoors is a pull all year-round. The town spreads out along the Delaware River and it's a popular place for cycling too."
According to the town website, Frenchtown has a deep history. "Frenchtown Borough was formed by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on April 4, 1867.
