This building has considerable local historical significance, being the only remaining public building in the little town. You can stop in, May - September, and receive visitor information on the surrounding area. Green fields of alfalfa are the town’s "backyard," and they appear to dance with even the smallest breeze, and seem to be inviting you to run through them, barefoot, leaving your cares behind!
