Its Town Hall glows as it did back then and the Opera House Theatre is warm again with the laughter and applause year round. Beside the Town Hall, from Mother's Day to Thanksgiving Weekend, Saturday mornings come alive with the Farmer's Market. Aromas wafting from the many restaurants promise unique dining experiences, and the whole street jumps for the annual Busker Streetfest.

Off Broadway, trees shade grand and cozy heritage houses and the County seat. Its high-ceilinged courtroom with spectacular gallery has heard many a cogent argument over the years. Not far away Island Lake churns with the paddles of Dragon Boats and pike fisherman.

Township of Mono
Hills, trees, streams and meadows... these are the words that one uses to describe the Town of Mono .

Township of Melancthon
Potato farming is the central industry in Melancthon with secondary farming of beef, dairy, sheep and horse as well. But before the farmers came to Melancthon, the area was just being settled and much myth and lore were created. It all started in 1854 when George McPhillips, who was a strong Roman Catholic, surveyed the areas now known as West Luther and Melancthon. While he worked he decided that they were the worst areas he had ever surveyed, and so they were to be named Luther (after Martin Luther), and Melancthon (after Philip Melancthon), two leaders of the Protestant Reformation. This, of course, is only speculation.
