To start, their prices are below what other places charge for commodities (though they might be going through an inventory reduction exercise, so your mileage varies). The owner took the time to explain to us how she processed the artwork. She speaks about the history of Gettysburg and the paintings with such passion. They're also at the center of town and near the transit station, so super easy to get to. I only wish they were bigger... though we were able to do about 3/4 of our shopping for this trip at this store.

The prices are correct for what the items are worth and they're located near the center of town CONS: There's a woman that works there who isn't educated on many of the items.

It's a nice store with a great selection, and the staff has been polite, but my experience has been…read morevery frustrating. I purchased a "Gettysburg-recovered" Hotchkiss shell for a good amount of money, yet received no certificate of authenticity or any documentation to support the claim. I have the receipt for BOTH items to back this review. I also bought a fired Minie ball from the same store, which did come with a COA, so I know they are capable of providing proper paperwork. I've called more than 10 times--employees answer, take my name, number, and shipping address, but nothing ever follows through. Every time I ask for Brendan, he is "out" or "preoccupied," and I have yet to receive a return call or paper work. For a high-value historical item, the lack of documentation and follow-up is extremely disappointing. Photo of the "Gettysburg shell". I will not be buying from this location again, I will and would recommend taking your business elsewhere to a location that takes historical artifacts seriously. I am willing to change my review if I do receive the COA. Update/Edit, after a personal call from the owner, I have received the COA and I am happy to finally have the document backing up the shell's authenticity.

We've always seen their cute bike signs on our adventures down to Virginia so on a recent trip to…read moreGettysburg we decided to stop by. So glad we did! We were greeted warmly by a young man and his siblings. He showed us around the produce stall that had various local items from peaches to corn and everything in between. Behind the stall were shelves of beautiful homemade pottery. He invited us to take a look inside their gallery as there were more items for sale in there, jams, tea, coffee and more pottery. The gallery was air conditioned so it was a nice break from the heat. We ended up purchasing corn, peaches, some jam and fair trade organic coffee. Everything we got was ripe and delicious. Can't wait to stop by again hopefully this fall to see what seasonal items they will have then!

Not in a big way but all the small things you keep in your home- key chains, picture frames, charms, candies and countless nick-nacks. It is almost aggressive in its 'not a part of the civil war' theme that flows through the rest of the town and that alone makes it refreshing. The souvenirs sold here will not remind you of your trip to the town but they are nice and if you've any Irish in you, great grand father Andrew Burke thank you very much, it has an appeal. The one thing I would like to see to push it right to the top are more proper clothes insteado f the few patchwork patterned items and t-shirts they display but this may well be a direction they don't want to take the shop.

Street parking is available, and it is an easy walk even from around the corner. One of the noticeable things is the new location's building is in much better condition. There are almost certainly less books for sale now, but it's also less crowded, and everything is much more organized. Books are located on both levels of the shop, and they have one of the larger used selections you'll find at an independent shop. Other media for sale also include various movies and comic books. If you like independent used bookshops, this is worth a stop.
