Sightseeing

A local distillery that is hidden in a state park. They take you for a tour and you get to sample the products. Owned and operated by a great couple. Always call first for their hours and to see if they still charge to enter the property. Keep in mind you'll be driving dirt roads so I wouldn't go if it's been raining.
