Very impressive. I went looking for unique Christmas gifts and was not disappointed. They had everything from a Borneo skull to antique knives. They also had a small collection of titanium medical implants recovered from a crematorium! The lady that said it was pricey, has obviously not bought quality antiques lately. There are some good deals if you look around. If oddities and war relics aren't your thing, they also have lots of traditional antiques and jewelry.

Neat old covered bridge is worth the trip to see when visiting Watkinsville or the Athens area. I played under the bridge with my friends as a kid. My grandparents were good friends with the owners of the property where the covered bridge was located, so I visited there often as a kid. It’s a ten minute excursion where you can get a nice photo and see history.
