Hearthside - The House That Love Built

Renovations Complete: Gift Shop Reopens April 10

After extensive renovation, the Hearthside Gift Shop, which has been closed since last July, is reopening on Saturday, April 10th during the season opening of Hearthside and its Open House. With a new ceiling, lights, painting of floors and walls, and the removal of a wall, the Gift Shop is shiny and bright and much larger! We look forward to welcoming visitors to our “new” shop, just in time for our Anniversary Year!

The Hearthside Gift Shop opened in a small pantry at the back of the house in 2001 when Friends of Hearthside was formed. Over the years, it has grown and the space became tight to the point where it was too crowded many times for visitors to stop in. Two years ago, as a result of a chimney leak, the room suffered damage and this past summer, work began on the reconstruction. During the process, it was decided to remove the wall which had been constructed in the 20th century and return the room to its original size. Read more about the project by clicking here.
