You won't find your average penny candy here. You will find a huge variety of nuts, cordials, truffles, peanut brittle and nonpareils. The chocolate covered pretzels are great! You can buy most nuts and candy by the quarter pound. Also available are boxed confections. The chocolate-coated brandy cherries are a speciality, or ask one of the staff to put together a nice gift basket for you.
Built as a church in 1855, this building was converted to a general store a few years later and has been in business ever since. The nickelodeon plays songs from the past, and the shelves are stocked with everything from clothing to antiques to sunscreen to hard-to-find parts for an oil lamp. In the winter, people come in for coffee and donuts around the coal stove. In the summer, the outside benches fill with patrons reading newspapers and sipping drinks. Each Christmas season, an old fashioned caroling get-together is held here.
