To me it almost felt like being on the set of a movie or something! And with plenty of unique things to see, spread out over a fairly large area, it made for a really nice change of pace from traditional hiking: a still great, but markedly different, way to enjoy a couple of lovely hours outdoors! 2) I also really enjoyed checking out the cool collection of Lowell Davis's signature-style artwork that they had on sight, and ended up wrapping up my time at Red Oak with a few surprise (because I had no idea there was also artwork) bonus souvenirs to add to my road trip collection! I'd probably still give the place top marks even it it were only one or the other (vintage town museum or collection of impressive art for sale), but for both together, it's a no brainer for me: 5 stars!"
