It took a few seconds to get the connection. I'm wasn't sure what connection a tree had to this…read morestore, except the tree for which it's named is common to the southeast and this shop has works from artists and artisans from around the area. If that's not the connection, I give up. Still, the name makes it stand out from other like-styled shops. It's an open space shop, with wide aisles and lots of glass shelves and racks to keep the light flowing throughout. It makes it easy to see the item in a non-distracting setting. Things are mixed throughout so you'll find similar items all around the store. There's a mix of media here, art created by the two owners along with pottery, jewelry, prints, scarves, and the like made by others with whom they share a common view. The goods are contemporary for the most part, but with a nice variety. For a unique gift, or to claim ownership of an original work of art, you'll find this is a good place to start, or stop. You can probably find something less expensive at a similar-themed place, but what you get may be more cookie-cutter style.

I love love love this local woman-owned framing shop in Burlington. I first visited here in 2020 to…read moreget a graduate certificate framed. I was able to come in, show the owner some previous framings I had done, and she made the aesthetic of her piece look aligned with my previous pieces that I had done elsewhere. I visited again less than a week ago with a photo that I had found on the internet showing the kind of style I was looking for. We picked out the ideal frame and the mat and talked about the layout. Today I picked up my custom frame job and it's PERFECT. PERFECT! The owner of this store is friendly, professional, and she does great work. It's worth the price. Take your money here and support a local business instead of going to a corporate chain for your framings. Whenever I need anything framed - this is where I will go! Across the Tracks also has pillows and things for sale in the shop if you're interested in that.

Very reasonable prices and the owner provided with assistance with picking the appropriate frame at a price point I was comfortable with. It totally made the painting "pop" and I can't wait to hang it!

The courthouse had a massive fire in 2010 and the bricks were the only thing that could be salvaged. There are photos documenting the rebuilding process. The museum has free admission. The museum is mostly in one room but there is a gallery in another room and a gift shop. The museum tells about the people from Chatham County. There is a section that deals with the land and the agriculture of the area. Another section focuses on education and an old school. Veterans are also given a section of the museum and a tribute. Volunteers run the exhibit and are happy to answer and questions you have. The hours the museum is open are limited but if it is open when you are in Downtown Pittsboro it is worth a stop.

I made an appointment and brought all of the items with me. The lady (her name escapes me), helped my pick out colors to match the items, frame, glass, etc. I did have to put a payment down when placing the order and made the remainder of the payment when I picked it up. The piece turned out beautiful! Even better than I had imagined.
