Frederic in the summertime is genuine small town America. No traffic jams or big stores here. It’s not unusual to see horses tied up at the hitching posts while their riders eat in the local restaurants. The Old 27 Corridor is also a favorite with bikers taking the scenic drive north. In the summer time we like to say that “the only things passing through Frederic are Horses and Harleys.”
