Timeline
15:40
Grab a coffee or tea at Paramount Café. It is a short walk from the house and opens early enough to start your evening relaxed. Check the route if you are unsure of the way.
16:10
Arrive at the Whipple-Lacey House. Walk around the exterior to find a spot on the porch or near the edge of the property that faces west. The house was built in 1883 and stands as a quiet witness to the changing sky. No tickets are needed to simply view the exterior.
16:55
Watch the sunset. The sun sets toward the WSW around this time, casting long shadows across the historic grounds. Stay for a few minutes to let the light fade.
17:25
End the evening at Sanford’s Grub & Pub. It is only a three-minute walk from the house. The eclectic décor and the unique sight of a pickup truck hanging over the entrance make for a memorable close to the night. They stay open late, so you can linger.
Local tip
The walk from Paramount Café to the house is short and straightforward. Sanford’s Grub & Pub is even closer to the house, making it an easy end to the evening.
