If you have ever lost a suitcase while traveling domestically, it may have landed at Unclaimed Baggage. The store is well organized (you don't have to root through actual suitcases!) and clean. And you never know what you might find! It is a true treasure hunt!

Harrison Brothers Hardware was established in 1894 and retains its original historic fixtures. The store has merchandise that reflects “American Made” at its finest.

It is located on the square across from the courthouse and a block from the Church of the Nativity.
