Jack Allen Park
Named after the man who named the town, Jack Allen Park is a beautiful and well-kept park in the center of town, taking up two blocks (with no bisecting road). A few pine trees scatter the park, though the area is mostly gently rolling lawn.
In the center of the park is an enormous bell tower, by far the highest point in the county. Inside the ground floor is a plaque, explaining the history of the town and the tower. A spiral staircase winds up the tower, with historical artifacts on display in glass boxes along the walls and the occasional window.
The original bell sits in a small storage basement beneath the tower and, currently, Graham Bosworth spends the vast majority of his time ringing his own large church bell, which he installed in place of the original. It's from this bell that all the relics received their calling.
