A CORNERSTONE OF OLD FORGE COMMERCE for over 100 years, this haunt has been a part of our lives…read moresince we were nigh high to an early season corn stock, walking into the sprawling store hand in hand with our mother to purchase fishing tackle, suntan lotion, bug spray, or many other essentials of Adirondack life. From wind chimes, electronics & lightbulbs, to furniture, knick-knacks, candy, and cookware, this shop has it all. But now, it's near and dear to my heart, not just for the rustic decor and furniture that have graced our family camp's interior for years... But because of the books... Old Forge Hardware's vast bookstore is hands down the largest and broadest in genre scope for 100 miles, stocked to the stacks with ADK history, Art, how-to books, true crime, kids' books, adult fantasy & my favorite: HORROR. This place simply put, is FANTASTIC.

They have a very nice selection of Old Forge and Adirondack merchandise at a significant savings to the hardware store across the street. I picked up a hat and t-shirt combo for $18. Full hardware store and other amenities are also there including kids games, fishing supplies and an extensive bird feeder collection.

There were clothes, jewelry, gifts and since it was their grand opening they had lemonade, homemade cookies and tasty meats and cheese. We sat for awhile on a really beautiful comfy couch and talked to the owners. They were so friendly telling us about both buildings and it being a family business. I loved the selection of clothes... women's, men's and some cute children's items too. I ended up with 2 beautiful tops, one I will be wearing to a wedding! And I got the cutest pair of pants for my granddaughter.

Owners are sisters; Tiffany and Kristine and they are extremely friendly. Their Mom and Dad started the business next door and they bought this and completely renovated. It's really beautiful and welcoming. I bought some earrings and my girlfriend 2 shirts. They have upscale designs and everything is presented so tastefully. It was a pleasure to visit and I wish them the best! They plan on having coffee also in this space soon.

A really good friend suggested we go on a road trip to Boonsville. (I had a college buddy come…read morefrom that town so I was aware of the town.) So off we go. It is as the name says "Awesome." It is a small store with lots of country decor plus more. Tea towels, jars of sauces, jams, a dog section, indoor or outdoor decor and the list of what you can buy goes on. We chose the in-house deli for lunch. I was more than pleased with the choice. (I saw a gentleman's sandwich and decided from there.) The deli uses Boar's Head deli meats. I got the reuben which is put together a bit differently, but that difference is what made the sandwich. They toast the bread, warm the ingredients and then put the sammy together. No greasy mess of a sandwich falling apart. It was juicy, delicious and satisfying. My only complaint is that they do not offer chips or pickles as a side with the sandwich. You can buy a bag of chips, but no pickle. Small town. There's a refrigerator with beverages and take out meals. We had a grand 'ol time driving up and back. Saw the sites that we could see. Parking is OK for the size of the place. All the staff were helpful and friendly. They have smallish shopping carts, but it seemed like most people start their collection of goodies and leave them by the register. They also have a brunch on weekends. Give it a try, enjoy the shopping, enjoy a little something from the deli.

I always support small businesses, especially in a small town like Boonville, but this was one of…read morethe worst experiences I've ever seen with a business owner. The atmosphere feels extremely hostile if you're not part of her inner circle or if you don't have money to spend. Locals know how people are treated behind the scenes, which is why many of the customers seem to come from out of town. The owner has a reputation for tearing down other small businesses instead of supporting them, and constantly copies ideas from others rather than creating anything original. Competition clearly isn't handled professionally here. Beyond that, cleanliness was a major concern. I personally noticed signs of mice and roaches in the store, which made me very uncomfortable shopping there. Some products are nice, but many can be purchased directly from the original vendors instead. Small towns thrive when businesses support each other and treat people with respect. Unfortunately, that is not the experience here.
