And the new business is listed by Yelp under "Antiques" but it is not an antique store. The store looks interesting...but NOT my thing and NOT an antique store. We wasted a trip looking for antique stores by following this on Yelp! There's a cool chocolate shop next door though. -Daddy Maxx Retro

I really appreciate this store as they offer a wide variety of Native art. A fair amount is made by…read moreIndigenous artists and are signed by the artist. The owner is very passionate and knowledgeable about the art in the shop, and has some truly beautiful pieces of art. As we are also in a pandemic right now, I noticed and appreciated how signs were posted stating the local and state laws mandating masks and social distancing within the store. Everyone within the stores - both Pride of the Nations and the connected chocolate shop - wore masks and maintained cleanliness and social distancing. I could see how everything was very clean and that even given how difficult things are for small businesses in this pandemic, the owner and store was took great care in masking and cleanliness as well as being very kind and knowledgeable about the works of art within the store. I ended up buying a beautiful horse ceremonial pipe as well as a beautiful small horsehair pot - both made by actual Indigenous artists. I would recommend stopping here even if you are not extremely interested in Native American art as the works and passionate store owner make it a stop worth making! Additionally, having the chocolate shop with a plethora of options for any sweet tooth is a delicious bonus!

As soon as we walked in, we were warmly greeted by a gentleman (I wish I'd gotten his name!) who immediately made us feel welcome. He was friendly, clearly passionate about books, and incredibly knowledgeable. He asked if it was our first time visiting, and when we said yes, he surprised us with an amazing gesture....a free book, each, tailored to our favorite genres. We were blown away by the generosity and thoughtfulness. The store itself is a treasure. Books galore, neatly organized by genre, and the place is not super larger, but makes you just want to look at it all. They also have a great selection of puzzles throughout. It's obvious that this place is loved -- both by the people who work there and those who visit. I purchased one book and I felt the price was reasonable. I can't wait to come back to Red Wing and when I do, I think another stop at this charming bookstore is on the list. Highly recommend to any fellow book lovers!
