My grandparents would have their groceries delivered by Cross Bros and the store is a blast from the past. Great family owned business that is a staple for all of us because we can walk to the grocery store and you can catch up on all the town news.

Local business family infused Ashland with a gallery and you can find local and national artists. They usually have small works of art that can be more affordable and give the essence of different artists. This is especially true at Christmas when the gallery specializes in smaller works of arts for gift giving.

RMC campus is a great place for a walk. The track around the football field is made form the soft material that is easier on your feet for walking- approx 9x around= 1 mile. There are lights until 10:00 pm and they go out about 10 minutes after 10:00 pm

Great trails and hills for walking and mountain biking. I take Cooper there and he loves swimming in the river. The park is shaped like a big "U" so if you park with the soccer fields in the middle. It is 500+ acres and a beautiful forest.
