We saw this shop on the side of the highway on our way to the mountains and decided to stop in when…read morewe were on our way back. We were not prepared for how vast the inventory of stained glass is. I think the employee told us all of the stained glass was from 1800s England. All of it was beautiful, I have no idea how we would decide. We made the decision to come back at a later date when we had the time to look through every single bit of stained glass. This spot is awesome! Definitely the place to go if you're looking for stained glass to decorate your house.

I had always thought of it just for the summer music series. Yet inside you can browse a book, your children play with toys or even buy an ice cream sandwich for $1 while listening to amazing music - well that is a rare gem. The community raises funds to buy the old general store and now it is open on occasions throughout the year - Great musicians are hosted and people are kind and welcoming.

Though the general store closed several years ago, the charming old post office and sundry shop is still the gathering place for music lovers of all ages. Bring a chair (or a kind volunteer will set one out for you) and sit back while a band entertains you from 7-9 p.m. I saw the Wehutty Mudpuppies this week--a great old time string band that had young and old dancing on the lawn. See the summer lineup here: http://www.bynumfrontporch.org/index.php?page=calendar It's an alcohol-free event (though I did notice some folks discretely drinking malt beverages from travel mugs). There's also a food truck or two with hot dogs, barbecue, and ice cream. Go back to a sweet, simpler time and check out the Bynum Front Porch Series. It's good old-fashioned fun.

Hart Furniture is a bit off the beaten path, but well worth the trip. Most of your time there will be spent perusing the many manufacturer catalogs they have on their shelves, since their actual in-store stock is a bit limited, depending on what you're looking for. You can order almost anything you can imagine, though, at excellent prices, and they'll be happy to ship to you. Staff members are very friendly and will really take the time to help you find the items you need, even if it means sitting down with you and poring through their catalogs.

The road area with peoples homes is a private road and is a dead end so you have to turn around anyway. Sometimes it's hidden behind the tall grass. Enter the pathway where the signs says Private Property where the tree line and the tall grass meet - you'll find the henge at the end of the path. Very cryptic I know. This henge is maintained by the lovely people that live in this community which I thought was super neat. And the grassy henge area is so beautiful and peaceful. I loved the poems on each of the stones and it was cool to see a henge IRL! If you're in the area (or not) I recommend you take a trip for the beaten path to visit this local wonder. 10/10 recommend.
