These are some really cool places to visit and I look forward to checking out a few that I haven't already visited. Some of the suggestions, like Duke Farms, we have visited and really enjoyed the experience. I personally like to go outdoors during winter and enjoy that nice cold fresh air and exercise. Always feels good to get out of the house during this time of year and stretch the legs and get those steps in.

LOOK: Famous Historic Homes in Every State

 

LOOK: Here are the best lake towns to live in

Many of the included towns jump out at the casual observer as popular summer-rental spots--the Ozarks' Branson, Missouri, or Arizona's Lake Havasu--it might surprise you to dive deeper into some quality-of-life offerings beyond the beach and vacation homes. You'll likely pick up some knowledge from a wide range of Americana: one of the last remaining 1950s-style drive-ins in the Midwest; a Florida town that started as a Civil War veteran retirement area; an island boasting some of the country's top public schools and wealth-earners right in the middle of a lake between Seattle and Bellevue; and even a California town containing much more than Johnny Cash's prison blues.
