Arboretum & Botanical Garden

Another hidden gem you'll find here is the Arboretum & Botanical Garden at the Pritchard Community Center. This little spot is a great place to explore, take pictures and just stop to smell the roses (see what I did there?) They even have a few picnic tables, grab lunch and enjoy the garden.

The shopping scene in Etown is something special. Between boutiques, specialty shops and more, they’re all a hidden gem in their own right. Located in Downtown Elizabethtown you'll find J. Bradley, a men's store with crafted mens goods for all the men in your life. This is a great spot to pick up unique gifts you won't find anywhere else.
