Another shot of lake Louemma. Such a beautiful sight! I couldn't let it pass. This place is a little local "pond" used mainly for finishing.

Free trolley ride in Downtown Van Buren. Christmas lights light the Main Street. High school students play Christmas carols for people waiting for the next ride on the train. 
For a moment, it was like a scene from Gilmore Girls.
This 1.5 mile – moderate trail is called Crack in the Rock for obvious reasons.
You’ll be able to enjoy the creek and the waterfall on the way up.
Municipal Park during the fall.

My husband and I had an excellent weekend stay! The accommodations were great! It’s a quaint place. We had no issues with noise. It was quiet at night. We were able to walk right out the door and walk to restaurants, the train station, and great shops. Perfect weekend stay!

I was there to attend the funeral of my mother so it was not really a pleasure trip. Van Buren was close to where I needed to be.
