Downtown green space that doubles as a live music venue in summer

Our Take
Kelsey-Hutchinson Founders Park has the kind of thoughtfully kept local green space that becomes a quiet anchor for a town's identity — easy to overlook, hard to forget once you've sat in it. A reliable hidden-gem stop that regulars treat as their own unhurried corner of Highlands.
