This hardware store is basically straight behind the cottage on the main road. They have everything! Bait, tackle, fly fishing stuff, tools, video rental(still a thing), apparel, advice, pictures of people with their fish, bulk rope, ammo, snacks, hanging baskets, custom fire pit rings, everything that a hometown hardware store should have is here. I think that I even seen a coon skin cap.
