Franklin G Burroughs — Simeon B Chapin Art Museum
If you enjoy art work and regional crafts, consider spending a morning at the Franklin G Burroughs — Simeon B Chapin Art Museum. The museum is free but does happily accept donations. On display are arts and crafts created in the area as well as old maps and antique prints. The museum itself is also a work of art. It was once headed for demolition, but was saved, moved and turned into the museum. It was formerly the Springmaid Villa, a 10,000 square foot 1927 mansion.

While many of the activities at Barefoot Landing do cost money, there is plenty to do and see for free as well. Barefoot Landing features many performers, free samples, photo opportunities and beautiful scenery to enjoy on a summer evening.
