We walked into this place on a rainy Saturday afternoon and there were some very talented people picking a little bluegrass in a corner while we browsed away. The selection of stringed instruments is unlike any that I've seen in a small shop, and they have separate room (which are enchanting) for all sorts of music lessons (not just stringed instruments, but piano, horns, etc). The woman behind the counter was friendly and chatty and although she tried to upsell just about everything, she wasn't pushy about it and seemed to know what she was talking about. This is a great place to go on a lazy afternoon, whether you're a musician or not.

Glen brought it back to life and it still plays like a banjo should to this day. Love it. Now when I buy a new guitar I take it right to Glen to set it up how I like it before I even play it. He has gone thru my guitar collection and thanks to him they all play as they should. I stop in bout twice a month to see him and his wife Barbara and look forward to it always. John Mullen

What an utter waste of time. I was making my way back from Northwest Vermont towards Boston, and a…read morefriend mentioned there was a good antique place in this town, but couldn't recall the name. This is what popped up via search engine, and I cannot believe this could be the place my friend intended. The setting looked so cool, in photos and as I pulled up. I'd driven an hour to get there, and was dying to hit the restroom before looking around, and there were all kinds of unwelcoming signs everywhere. "Bathroom for customers only," well considering this is in BFE, I can't imagine tons of randos are just stumbling through the door. There was a small cafe attached, and that seemed to be the only part doing any business. And after a quick wander around the shop, that made total sense, because the prices on the antiques and other items were absolute insanity. A small jar of used golf tees: $18. Little saucers I find at my local goodwill for 99 cents, around $20. Tiny jars of nothing-special buttons: $24. The vibe was decidedly crotchety-old-should-not-run-a-business. I get businesses dealing with public can be not fun, but the tone of the whole place was just "get off my lawn." No thanks! Friends, spend your time and money elsewhere. These people should retire.

The beauty of Western Mass is summed up in the view of the Connecticut River from the bridge, especially during foliage season. But I digress, back to the Freight House, my favored stop on my tours. It's a worn place, antiques lining its broad porch and spilling over into the neighboring area with cement and stone yard ornaments. Don't be deterred! Inside you'll find rooms stuffed with antique brick-a-brac, but make your way to a stool at the food counter. Service is prompt and personable - well, of course, there's only a handful of stools. The prices are fair, and I love this unassuming oasis and the folks that work here, so I tip generously. I've sampled most of the menu items, and always been satisfied. But the hidden gems are the homemade pies. I love a good pie, and most pies don't measure up. I look for a great crust, flakey on top and bottom. Then I want a good filling, full of authentic flavor, not cloyingly sweet, or runny, or gelatinous. Tough to find? Yup! Found it here, at Freight House, every time. Great pie (and food), a cup of coffee, and I'm off to the French King bridge, the Quabbin, and the open road.
