What you'll see in our store - Our Departments

What started as a small hardware store serving the local Amish in Kidron, Ohio, grew into something much bigger than founder Jay Lehman ever dreamed. Gathering four pre-Civil War era buildings under one soaring roof, today our store is a place to embrace the past: from old-fashioned treats and sodas to practical, non-electric goods that help you live a simpler life. Shop and reminisce your way through thousands of products while browsing Jay's antique collection located throughout the store. Make sure you give yourself plenty of time--the full shopping experience is nearly a quarter mile long! Learn more about the store below:
