Shops open In Metamora

When I read a comment about Metamora not having many shops, I am puzzled. How many shops does a visitor want to visit?

In wanting to evaluate the comment, I reviewed what I know about open shops and made a list of them. This list does NOT COUNT some of the main attractions to town, such as the canal boat ride, the Grist Mill, the Whitewater Valley Railroad, and the horse and carriage ride.

Below is a list of most of the shops that I am aware of that are in business as of today, April 16, 2014. I know there are a few others, but I cannot name them. Read the list below- there are 38 of them listed here. (location numbers refer to the Metamora Map building number):

1. Woodworks Etc.
2. Country Peddlers
3. Buttons & Bows

Not all shops are open every day, and many of them are closed January through May, but most will be reopened soon.  A number of those listed are open currently, especially on weekends.

There are other shops in town that either say they will open/reopen this year that I did not count, such as Anne's, Jeannie's five shops on the east side of Columbia Street when you enter the village including the Comic Book Shop, local artist's museum, and other gift shops, and the former bakery/PJ's Quilts on Clayborn St.

For what its worth…
