The front area is a welcoming and inviting space where you can sample their whiskeys, flavored whiskeys, and liquors. In addition to their beverages, the shelves are replete with a myriad of local, homemade goods from candles to sauces. The place has recently added on to the building. The expansion allows them more warehouse space from what I understand. When I visited the front door was orange and soon to be replaced. I'm curious what it will look like when completed! Cheers!

Enjoyed an excellent tour of the Frank Lloyd Wright designed Stockman House located in Mason Iowa…read more Nancy was our fabulous guide. She is knowledge about the history of the house, its owners, and the role FLW played in its design. The hour long tour is well-worth the time to see, tour and learn about this national treasure. The house is modern, functional and ancient all at the same time. The word "timeless" seems a fitting way to capture this remarkable structure. If you ever have a reason to be in Iowa consider making the trek to take the tour. Once done step back into the gift shop and look at the array of miniature examples of other FLW buildings, purchase some postcards or a book. You will not be disappointed
