The town of Abilene just made the top ten of a nationwide poll of the best historic small towns. Abilene not only made the top ten for the 2022 Best Historic Small Town category of USA TODAY’s 10 Best Readers’ Choice contest, but nearly came in first place. The list of winners for the 2022 Best Historic Small Town category are as follows: Wickford, RI; Abilene, KS; San Elizario, TX; De Smet, SD; Gettysburg, PA; Taos, NM; Natchitoches, LA; Berkeley Springs, WV; Natchez, MS. This marks the fourth time in a row that Abilene has finished in the top ten for the contest. While the town was able to maintain the top spot throughout the voting period, the community slipped to the number two spot in the final days when rankings were hidden, according to the Abilene Convention and Visitors Bureau.
