Secret Library & Speakeasy

Old Main Street dates to the 1800s. New buildings stand on old foundations. We saw Sally Mann at the opulent Paramount. After, found stairs leading down to interconnected cellars and a hallway lined with bookshelves. Push on them and they swing open to reveal hidden rooms.

On one side a Turkish lounge with low seats and a Persian rug, dim lamps on paneled walls. The other a speakeasy, where the bartender quotes Epicurus in the original Greek.
