The two floor museum building is a bit overwhelming...if you are a neat freak, you might want to run. If you are a hoarder, you will love it. The first floor is cramped with a low ceiling, but the second floor is more open and less cluttered. There are items neatly organized in glass cases and protective covers, but it is everywhere from the ceiling down to the floor. Hard to take it all in, but it is an impressive collection. It is truly unbelievable that one person could gather and organize so many collectables from lunch boxes and figurines to stuffed animals and glassware. If you have never been, it is a fun place to kill an hours time and reminisce about when life was simple.

I paid upfront cause…read morewith my work schedule and his store hours, I was not sure when I would be able to pick it up, and was going to have my roommate at the time pick it up if need be. I brought in a simple job for him, which cost significantly more than the item I had framed, I'll even go so far as to call it a ripoff. He sucked at returning calls, (taking so much as two days) and when I finally went in on a Saturday morning to pick my item up, I waited outside for him with other customers. The advertised hours on Saturdays are 9:00 AM - 2:00 PM. I got there at 8:50 and didn't see him to come in and open the doors till almost 10. This was also right around Valentine's Day, and when I spoke to him [after he FINALLY returned my call], he said he was closing an hour early to take his wife out. If I had not spoken to him on the phone, I would have had no way of knowing this. Overpriced, piss poor customer service. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else.

I surprisingly experienced some really poor customer service at this business…read more I sent an order of 4 thousand negatives and slides and asked to have 3 small test sets of the same 9 frames done first, to decide what I would like, 1 set 8 bit JPG, 1 set 16 bit TIF, and 1 set 16 bit 'flat' TIF. After surprisingly having to explain what a flat image is to a photo shop, they seemed to understand. But the 'flat' scans they sent me back were identical to the other normally processed 16 bit TIF default scans. They also failed to remove sharpening and grain reduction from the flat scan, which I specifically requested. Ok fine, they made a mistake, no big deal.. So I politely asked them to fix this one set of the flat scams (9 frames only!) and I even spent time to look up the two contrast settings they needed to adjust in the Noritsu software to get a flat scan. (Note I've never used Noritsu but it was easy to look up). Mike Ross the owner then phoned me and was so angry I could barely get a word in or finish a sentence. He seemed to suggest I was changing the order when I was simply helping them after it was apparent they didn't understand a flat scan, which is a pretty fundamental concept in scanning, nor did they even give me a 16 bit TIFF with no sharpening or grain reduction. Luckily this occurred on the test set and not the main order so I can send the negatives to a more knowledgeable (and hopefully pleasant to deal with) lab. I honestly don't understand how someone stays in business with this type of belligerent communication with customers.

We offer many different framing options from ready-made which can be picked up immediately or custom framing for more detailed projects.

Hindinger Farm

You can read my review of Bubba's Brunch food truck in my review section because the food was delicious. Hindinger Farm sells fresh vegetables, fruits, jams, and other items for children, and it has a beautiful backdrop. One side of the farm overlooks the other side of the farm and the other side of the farmi overlooks this beautiful backdrop of nature on the farm. Hindubger Farms puts on live shows, and you can go shopping. There is also a playground for the kids to play. The playground is fenced in with a picnic area so parents can enjoy their food without worrying about their children's safety. You can always check their website for events, shopping, and find out which food truck will be at the farm that day. The customer service was great, and I will definitely be back.

This farmstand has the best produce in Connecticut, in my opinion…read more In fall of 2024, my husband and I made it a habit to visit a different farmstand every weekend to support our local farmers. Of all the sites we visited, this was the stand out. The fruits and vegetables are incredible... literally picture-perfect and bursting with flavor. In addition, the stand has lots of homemade products like mango salsa, horseradish mustard, and the like. These specialty items are delicious! Oh, and don't forget to pick up some of their homemade preserves. My husband and I practically overdosed on peach preserves! There is a beautiful outdoor area where kids can play, which also makes the stand a nice destination for families. Last but not least, the staff that works here is so friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed chatting with them.

In addition to buying some gorgeous lettuce, Brussels sprouts, zucchini, peaches, and plums, we got these yummy treats!

Rogers Orchards - Home Farm

If you're looking for a fall escape filled with charm, Rogers Orchards is a must. Picture rows of…read moreapples stretching into the horizon -- the perfect backdrop for those fall golden-hour photos. During my visit, the trees were full of Pink Lady, Evercrisp, Red Delicious, and Empire apples. After tasting these fresh, juicy picks straight from the tree, I don't think I can go back to store-bought apples - not that I really have a choice! Every bite was crisp perfection, and honestly, this might become an annual tradition for me. You can choose from a few bag sizes when you go apple-picking: Large ($40) - labeled at 30 lbs Medium ($25) - labeled at 12-15 lbs Small ($15) - labeled at 7-8 lbs Separate from the orchard, there's a large open field that's perfect for picnics, with plenty of seating and cozy fire pits to keep you warm. It's a beautiful, family-friendly space -- kids running around, birthday celebrations happening, and couples just relaxing in the fall breeze. You don't need to pick apples or pay any additional fees to enjoy this area, which is a big plus. Bring your own chairs if you want extra comfort. There were three food trucks on-site during my visit. My favorite was Pika Food Truck -- their Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich was delicious. Chef O's Streatery offered empanadas but they weren't my favourite-- a bit too salty and lacking flavor. We also tried a flight of ciders, which was such a fun way to sample different seasonal flavors. Before you leave, make sure to check out the scenic overlook -- it's stunning, especially with the fall foliage. I loved that they even had a tripod set up for easy photo-taking. Rogers Orchards truly captures everything great about fall -- fresh apples, good food, cozy vibes, and community. They accept cards, which makes checkout super easy.

Out, cruising on this perfect summer day, and the roads took me here to Rogers Orchards…read more I grew up in Southington, and this was always a place to go in the fall, and when I was younger, my parents would bring us here and we would pet the bunnies and get stuff for grandma's house. So here I am back at Rogers Orchard, and it's just beautiful. Fresh vegetables and fruits, recently harvested corn on the cob, specialties, canned goods, apple cider donuts, and the star of the show... The fresh apple cider. If you are anywhere in the area, this is a wonderful stop to browse and impulse buy. Also, the prices are great on all the fruits and vegetables. I managed to pick up some pickled beets, some small pickles, a half dozen apple cider donuts, and of course, for the ride home, a nice cup of the freshly made apple cider. This apple cider was beyond delicious. I knew I should've bought a quart of it. Oh well, this will give me a reason to get back there soon. Bring your camera, as the Rogers Orchards grounds are really nice for a picture taking. The bunnies may be gone, but the memories remembered from the past, memories from today, and memories from the future from visits to Rogers Orchards will always be remembered fondly

I think this was a past showroom that is now corded off

FrameWorks is a home business run out of the owner's basement. Andy welcomed us, looked at our item, and worked us through the process of choosing the frame that would best show it off. He ordered the stock and assembled the final product himself, providing even the hardware to properly hang it. We picked it up a week after ordering and are looking forward to the big reveal. There are two things to be aware of with FrameWorks: 1. There is no sign to find the place. Look for the red mailbox at the foot of a steep driveway. 2. Custom framing isn't cheap. It's worth it, but be ready to pay for a craftsman's time. We're very happy and highly recommend Frame Works to anyone.

I am a former CT resident and knew the owner and business by reputation. Not the artistic type myself, I asked the owner (Andy) to choose a suitable frame and matting for the photo after describing where it would be displayed and the dominant colors in the room. Had a custom photo printer mail Frame Works a large high quality print. Andy agreed to ship the custom framed photograph to my present home in Vermont. The quality of the work was exceptional and pleasing in every respect. The frame and triple matting enhanced the photo and perfectly complemented the color scheme of my office. It arrived carefully packaged and in perfect condition, with high quality mounting hardware attached (including pads to prevent tilting). What a big step up from the Michaels frames I formerly used to display my best photography. Those frames now look dowdy and cheap in comparison. I highly recommend Frame Works to anyone seeking to optimally display prized photography, art or heirlooms. The owner is an artist. He will treat your project with the same meticulous craftsmanship and flair for design he uses to display his own art. A rare quality today.
