In Washington state, it takes just a few minutes of driving to find a community with radically different values and ways of life.
A 30-minute drive from Bellingham, known as a left-leaning college town, will bring you to Lynden — home to just 15,000 people and more than 40 houses of worship in and around the town.
"Lynden is the only community that I've had the people say, 'Hi,' on the streets," said Troy Luginbill, director and curator of the Lynden Pioneer Museum. "So, ideal small-town America."
The Lynden Pioneer Museum sits on the award-winning Front Street in Lynden.
