    This is the most wonderful place in the world. It's a perfect mix of rotted out disgusting junk (like the stuffed fox that has been steadily decaying for the past 12 years that I've been going there, and the dusty old lady hats that make me want to run away) and an endless cache of curiosities . I make trips there, especially in the Fall, just to take pictures. This is a true rarity, in part, because it's dangerous. The place feels like it's going to collapse around you if you breath too heavy. And you just might, because the air is filled with ancient musty spores. The place is run by a father and son who live across the winding country road. I've often found the door locked, only to turn around and see the old man riding full tilt across the street on his rusted out beach cruiser. These guys are knowledgeable, and somewhat strange. They're amateur Civil War historians, if that tells you anything. And they don't seem to get out much. The entranceway is hung with old iron farm implements. It looks like a torture chamber, and for all I know, it might be. The counter is filled with trilobites and other fossils, old knives, buttons, marbles, rocks, and candy. I don't think it's a good idea to eat the candy. Behind the counter is a rotating stock of old guitars, banjos, and mandolins. The narrow walkway leads you into a bigger room full of glass cases, the walls stacked with boxes and shelves full of a billion interesting things. Three other scary rooms branch from that. I could go on. Check out the pictures.

    They were asking $450 for this sign/ clock  It is large and in charge!

    This is a quirky little store that is worth stopping at to see old tools and old relics. The guy who owns it is nice too.
