Review:
Only 20 miles away from Iowa City, Mount Vernon is a quaint little town known for its tree-lined streets and its historic uptown district. The uptown district is full of boutique shops that make for excellent window shopping, and visitors might even be lucky enough to stumble across one of the city's eclectic festivals, which are held to celebrate everything from chili to sidewalk chalk. The area is also surprisingly hilly; the limestone cliffs of Palisades-Kepler State Park are only a short drive away, and during the winter, visitors can also zip down Pres Hill on a toboggan.
