Yes, Tripoli is a very small town. When you come into it there is a small school for elementary children, a small store and , I think, a gas station. It has been awhile since I was there - 10 years. If and when you drive through it, do not blink, as this will cause you to miss it. There is a beautiful lake there. It has cabins around it for summertime vacationers. I do agree with Richard - check the courthouse in the county seat. They should have a plethera of information for you to check on.
