I was here for a tour while my daughter stayed overnight for a campus visit. Red brick campus, beautiful fall tree colors, close to town, this really is a beautiful campus. I had a pass for the Rec center and used that. Very nice facility and they offered an indoor track. I had lunch at Pulley's Diner, a 50's style diner in the Armstrong Center. Wonderful blueberry pancakes. A little preppy. Impressive business college. If I could go back in time, I think I would have loved going to school here....if I could afford it!

We stayed in the lodge for two nights and are hoping we get to return. The lodge alone offers enough entertainment options for a weekend, and driving around we saw more fun things to explore - a dam, nature center, beach, etc... Bird watching is something special here, the birds are huge - and we even saw a bald eagle, they say there are 3-6 of them that live in the park. No admission charge to enter the park. This is a great place to spend a day or a long weekend!

The construction of the bridge is quite impressive, and it's a nice slice of local history. It's a quick stop that's worth the few minutes you'll spend there and it's a great place to run to (only about 4 miles, round trip, from the heart of campus).
4. Brick Street!

This is a great place to show the kids how streets in the past were made. There is tons to do along the brick. If driving be sure to watch out for the College kids they are everywhere.

Outing at a long-standing golf club was outstanding. Lot's of improvements to bunkers & golf cart paths. Greens & fairways in some of the best conditions I've played at all year.
Counter staff, starters & Marshall's
courteous and helpful. Course maintenance workers virtually invisible.
Thanks to all who have worked to restore this golf landmark to its former condition!
