Town Plaza

The small downtown park at Main Street and Santa Cruz Avenue, on the site of the old railroad station; home of Jazz on the Plazz, the farmers’ market and the holiday tree.

Trains ran through the middle of downtown until 1959, and the station stood where Town Plaza and the post office are now. The Hotel Lyndon faced the depot across the street until 1963.

Today the plaza holds the Sunday farmers’ market, the summer Jazz on the Plazz concerts and the town’s holiday tree lighting.
