Tom, I don't know. However on the times I day parked there it "felt OK". It seems like a nice small town with good people around. A well done, clean, maintained trail head near the museum and going businesses. You should also contact the local police station or state police barracks. Whomever does the local policing. They'll tell you what the history is there. Call the Hopewell Inn and Daddy O's.
The town and the state have a vested interest in that being a safe place, attracting tourist money.
