Visit the Iris City Gardens and the best time to visit is spring when it is in full bloom. The specialty of the garden is the Iris along with daylilies and peonies. You could visit the garden just to take some pictures and then head to the historic downtown. The Leiper’s Fork Village is a charming historic place located few minutes from the historic downtown. There are artisans and art galleries and also taste some good food from the good old country cuisine.
