May-Day: And Other Pieces (1867)

Boringville is a quiet, peaceful town in the woods of central Pennsylvania. It has a small but thriving artistic community scattered in small shops around the town. Itas interesting to look at the quaint architecture and the partly rebuilt fort from the French and Indian War. Despite the rumors, the fort probably isnat haunted. There is a large, courteous police force to make sure everyone is safe. The hospital, while small, is state-of-the-art. There are nice places to eat. The hunting and fishing near the town are excellent. The cemetery, while small for a place the size of Boringville, is a bit unusual and picturesque. A bright, cheery town inhabited by friendly people, Boringville is a relaxing place to spend the day. You might not want to spend the night.
