Time is constantly fleeting and the best time to explore is now!

If you've been itching to go on a trip and adventure to a new and exciting place away from the hustle and bustle of America's biggest cities, look no further than Cheapism's list of the best small towns to visit across the country.

Be it stunning scenes, an endless amount of activities for the whole family, or a unique factor you cannot get anywhere else in the U.S., something about these small towns lands them in good company with the "best" around.

According to the list, the best small town in visit in Illinois is Mount Carroll. This standout destination was praised for its local crafts and fresh food!

Here's what Cheapism had to say about the best small town to visit in the entire state:

"With its quaint brick streets and colonial architecture, it's not hard to see why tiny Mount Carroll (population 1,400) is nicknamed the New England of the Midwest. Ten miles from the Mississippi River, this northwest Illinois town looks much like it did 50 years ago. Shop for antiques, check out arts and crafts from numerous local artisans, and catch live music by local and traveling musicians. Stock up on fresh Illinois corn, tomatoes, and other yummy local produce at the town's farmers market, from 8 a.m. to noon every Saturday from May to October."
