You can have your picture taken as you set on the porch of the "old neighborhood store" while you have an RC Cola and Moonpie or maybe a bottle Coke with your peanuts!

But that's  not all!  Other than handmade brooms, we carry other handmade items such as Wreaths, Door Ornaments, seasonal center pieces from "Creations by Barbara,"  and Walking sticks, Corn Silkers and Pot Scrubbers. We even have Henson Broom Shop baseball caps.

But of course we are most famous for our award winning, nationally known handmade brooms. Over 12 different kinds of brooms. Handcrafted brooms like the ones made for the tv show, Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman.
