Believe that crafts people and artisans are people of the past? They are certainly not at THE TAUNY CENTER. Spend more time than you anticipated looking at the diversity of excellence in woodworking, quilts, and pottery. Kathy and Lois will be pleased to answers questions about any of the items for sale and to share TAUNY's remarkable history. Thanks particularly to Varick Chittenden, St. Lawrence University 1963, the founder of this specual place from classmate John McClenahen.

Whenever in this part of the world, I never hesitate to travel out of my way to visit Tauny. Over the years the displays have gotten better and better. They are always locally oriented and can be historical and contemporary. On this trip there were some interesting ceramics.
But really, the best part is the shopping. Always some good gift for yourself or others, as well as maple products, soaps. Staff are welcoming.

The "museum" has been newly renovated with displays of both Amish and "english" wares. We especially liked the different buggys and quilts that were shown.
There was furniture made by local craftspeople and the new front desk is a beautiful example of North Country work. Local items such as maple syrup, wool products, furniture, and pottery are for sale.

The quilt exhibit was very moving, with numerous historical quilts on display as well as recently crafted quilts. Loved exploring the ceramic wares, carved wood, and other things created by local artisans.

Don't plan to just rush in and take a peek. Take the time to really look at the lovely objects and displays. Items range from local handcrafted candles and lotions to stunning beadwork and jewelry, as well as practical and beautiful home goods.

As an ethnomusicologist (and therefore partial folklorist), TAUNY is a FANTASTIC place for me! And as someone who very much wants to see local artisans, musicians, etc, supported as much as possible to help the actual people in the local economy, I LOVE this place!
My only complaint is that I always leave wishing I could buy just about everything in the store. :-)

TAUNY has a wide variety of beautiful artwork for sale by local artisans; unique, one of a kind pieces for gifts or for home decorating. It's definitely worth the visit!
