Welcome to the HHM&A Mercantile

The birth and growth of our mercantile

The HHM&A Mercantile gift shop opened in 2019 with a modest collection of a few items created by local artisans. We strive to give guests a glimpse of our history and items related to our story through books of local or regional interest and items that feature the skills and talents of those who are “local and locally-grown.” We are thrilled to support our local artisans and authors while generating financial support for our museum and offering our guests a unique selection of local mementos and gifts.

Our hours

The mercantile is open noon to 4 weekdays October through April and 10-4 Monday through Saturday May through September, the same hours as the museum: You can also order by calling 605-925-7545.
