Business Highlight
Located at 119 Montcalm Street in Ticonderoga this beautiful shop offers unique gifts with an Adirondack flavor. Co-owners Marriann Rapple and Lynn Reale opened the shop in January 2020 and have endured the pandemic with support from the local community and residents. The Essex County IDA has been fortunate to work with this business in partnership with the Ti Chamber of Commerce and a DEC Adirondack Smart Growth Grant.
