Our village was once the home of the Smith Corona typewriter. When the typewriter died everyone thought the village would also, but the old factory was torn down and we now thrive as a bedroom community for nearby universities and cities. The county bus service makes several runs a day for those who commute to work or shop. The local Business Association works very hard to promote our community and our shops are unique to attract customers. We have 4 active churches within the village limits and the schools work very hard to provide activities for our small-town students.
