KimmswickThis quaint town is bursting with history, charm, and some of the best darn baked goods you'll find in the Midwest. You can stroll through the streets and admire the well-preserved 19th-century architecture or pop into one of the many boutique shops that line the sidewalks. Take a step back in time and visit the Anheuser-Busch family home, which has been turned into a museum. And don't even get me started on the annual Apple Butter Festival.

Arnold City ParkArnold City Park has something for everyone, from the playgrounds and picnic shelters to the meticulously maintained tennis courts and softball fields. Take a stroll along the walking trail, or bring your furry friends to the dog park for some off-leash fun. And let's not forget about the fishing pond, where you can catch some of the biggest bass in the area. My personal favorite part of the park, however, has to be the expansive disc golf course.
