This list might be useful for folks who want to sit in the U.S. (If you don’t want to sit in the U.S., please scroll on by. This is not meant to start a discussion about folks who are opting to not sit in the U.S.)
I’ve been to a bunch of these places and have found them actually charming.
Note: If you keep scrolling on this link, there are various other lists of compelling U.S. places to visit.

The list didn’t come up, ‘page not found’ for me
Don’t know why that is, unfortunately.
Too bad people in other countries can’t access it. I did a quick read and it’s a great list. Somehow, I’ve only been to a few places on the list. I’m going back to Montpelier, Vermont for a third sit in Sept, beautiful small town! I will check out a couple others such as Bar Harbor on that trip as well since I’ll be heading from VT up to Nova Scotia (fall road trip!).
I found the list somewhat surprising. I would also add a few:
Troy, New York (where they film exteriors for the Gilded Age)
Hudson, New York
Woodstock, New York
Catskill, New York
Cold Spring, New York
Amherst, MA
Staunton, VA
Burlington, VT
Beacon, NY
