Once a bustling logging town, Sandpoint has embraced its natural beauty to become an amazing resort town drawing people near and far to enjoy its beauty and recreational possibilities. It's truly a small town with a huge backyard.

Is the small town a place, truly, of the world, or is it no more than something out of a boy's dreaming? Out of his love of all things not of death made? All things somewhere beyond the dust, rust, and decay, beyond the top, beyond all sides, beyond bottom: outside, around, over, under, within?

I come from this really small town near Nashville, Tennessee, where everything was la-di-da and normal.

A small town is a place where there's no place to go where you shouldn't.

Living in a small town, I knew everybody and everybody knew me.

The museum was our drawing card, along with our small-town features, so we didn't need to do anything else to get him here.
