This is a really neat old store. It does have hardware and many other items Much of the interior looks like it has never changed since it's original. I'm sure this place has a lot of history. The lady working was very nice. Even if you are not buying, I would still encourage you to visit just to walk around and look at everything. There was a man selling fresh local produce outside on the sidewalk. Quite a bit of fishing stuff and fresh bait
Thank you Barton for taking the time. And posting some pictures. You are Awesome. Join us in November for our Sugar Cane Festival. Follow us on facebook for all upcoming events in the area.

Great old time hardware store. It sets you back a few years. But he carries a little bit of everything, sort of like an ace hardware. carries a lot of consignment items like antiques, canned goods. And they have A community sales every second weekend of the month, which is great. It's on the road, bring your stuff and set up.It's free, a few great food vendors, excellent ribs & barbecue, chicken sausages. And there's a yearly soapbox Derby. Every year in march, the last one was the twenty ninth of march. Thank you very much to the people that work hard to keep White Springs alive. There is the Old Sulfur bath house, the first tourist attraction in Florida.. Needs a little TLC 🥰 repair, I think they are working on it..👍 The bridge crossing stream & decking in the Bath House.. Thank you, Rick RC
Thank you so much Rick for your kind words and pictures you shared. Follow us on Facebook for all our local events. See you soon.

A great hardware store, they not only have everything you need, they have the advice you need if you simply ask. Also, it's the most beautiful century-old working hardware store you will ever shop at. They now have an antique store in the back, a separate building on Hamilton Street, for even more opportunities to browse. Their inventory is quite impressive! Between the expertise they bring to all their products, the history, and the chickens running around, you can't go wrong wandering around Suwannee Hardware and Feed!
Thank You Mick for the Awesome review

This place is an amazing historic site in an historic town. I spoke with, presumably, the owners and they were very nice people
Thank you so much for visiting our store. Please come again. We have an Awesome Sugar Cane Festival the second Saturday in November.

Drive nearly three hours to visit this town, I arrived on 6/16/24 at 11:23a. The town holds a lot of small town charm, I found the hardware that drew me to the town, unfortunately, the hardware store would close at noon. The two ladies were very short on time since they would be closing soon. I excepted the fact that everything was closed on Sundays with the exception of nearby, well preserved historic churches. I went on looking for some treasure to purchase, a yardstick maybe a postcard or maybe an ornament to remember my trip but it wasn’t a success. The store qualifies for a Florida Historical Marker, I sure hope the owners look into having one erected at the storefront.
Hello Roads Traveled. Thank you for sharing the Awesome pictures you posted. My apologies for my wife's attitude. She's not a people person. I'm not sure where I was that day. because I love to give the 2cents tour of our piece of history. Ask for Junior if you come this way again. Happy Thanksgiving
