Timeline
15:48
Start at Green Bus Brewing. It is just a short walk from the Weeden House Museum and sits in a 150-year-old building. Order a beer or cider while you plan your route. The atmosphere is lively and the tap list changes often.
16:18
Walk south-west to Big Spring Park. It is only ten minutes away on foot. Find a spot near the water or under the large trees. The park is open and welcoming. This is your vantage point for the evening light.
16:58
Watch the sunset. The sun sets toward the WSW, which aligns perfectly with the view from Big Spring Park. The golden light starts about forty minutes before this moment, so you have plenty of time to settle in. The sky turns warm and the park becomes quiet.
17:43
Head back toward the historic square for dinner. Commerce Kitchen is a three-minute walk from the park and stays open until 22:00. It is a reliable spot for a meal after the sun goes down.
Local tip
The Weeden House Museum closes at 16:00 on weekdays, so do not try to squeeze in a tour if you want to catch the sunset. Start with the drink and save the museum for another day. Check the route from Big Spring Park to Commerce Kitchen if you are not sure of the way.
