Who’s got the cutest Main Street in America?

Ketchum’s is one of the tops, according to Fodor’s Travel.

Barbara Noe Kennedy recently included Ketchum’s Main Street among “America’s 25 Cutest Main Streets in Small(er) Towns.”

“The spirit of the West lives on along Ketchum’s very strollable, tree-shaded Main Street where historic cabin-esque buildings sit pretty in the shadow of the surrounding jagged peaks,” she writes. “Today they contain one-of-a-kind boutiques selling everything from outdoor gear (notably, Sturtevants) to ski rentals for the slopes (Sun Valley is nearby!) to local art to trendy fashions.

“Among the restaurants, many with outdoor seating for sunny weather, seek out Pioneer Saloon, as famed for its Jim Spud and steaks as for its taxidermy décor.”

Don’t miss the Trailing of the Sheep Festival in October, when 1,500 sheep strut their stuff down the main drag, she concluded.

Others on the list include Golden, Colo., which sports the building where the first Colorado legislators met; Stowe, Vt., with its white steepled church and covered walking bridge; Walla Walla, Wash., which sports a revitalized pedestrian paradise, and Natchitoches, La., with its cast-iron balconies.

Others include New Castle Del., which Kennedy called “a mini-Williamsburg without the thrills;” Jacksonville, Ore., with its brick-and-wood buildings from the 1880s gold rush, and Holland, Mich., with its Victorian buildings and overflowing tulip beds
