Welcome to Baxter, a picturesque town nestled in rolling hills and surrounded by lush forests. Famous for its breathtaking landscapes and rich cultural history.
At its heart lies the historic Town Hall, built in 1856, and streets lined with antique storefronts that transport you to the past.
Yet, beyond its peaceful façade, the town holds secrets. Across Jeminson Creek lies a dense, mysterious forest teeming with wildlife—black bears, wolves and bobcats. While the forest enchants nature lovers, it can be dangerous for the unprepared.
Adding to its allure is the enduring legend of a mythical beast said to roam these woods. Whether myth or reality, this tale remains a part of Baxter's storied heritage.
