Any music lover can appreciate this music store in the mountains. But if you have an interest in knowing more about mountain music or an interest in buying a string instrument to play or begin to play don't miss this shop. I have purchased from Mike Clemmer and would not trade my wormy chestnut dulcimer for anything. It has a beautiful sound and finish. If you come in warmer weather months they gather on a Saturday night to what they call "The Picking Porch" all you need is a blanket or a lawn chair - concerts are free. Make this a part of your must dos when you come to Townsend.

We almost missed this place, as the hours posted on Google were incorrect. They have some AMAZING shots of the local flora and fauna available for purchase. All of these options were available in different sizes and formats, like post cards, or normal prints. They also offered empty frames for you to purchase and frame up the prints you buy. We also got to spend some time talking to the owners about their travels and photographs. All in all, this is a MUST visit for anyone who appreciates nature photography.

This store has a large number of souvenirs, from the typical magnets and shirts, to local made foods. Prices are what you’d expect and I felt like I got what I paid for. The people working there were very friendly and made me feel welcome.
