Canal Towne Emporium
From the moment you step on our original oak floorboards, you'll know you've left the modern world behind. Here, you can bring pleasure and joy back to gift giving and home decorating. Peruse the aisles, and visit each room downstairs and up for fine, locally handcrafted gifts, decorative accessories, country furniture and foods. It's all here in our lovingly restored 1840's general store that was originally a trading post for the D&H Canal.
Services
The building that is Canal Towne Emporium's home was built in 1839 by H.R. Morris, who operated it as a general store. It was purchased by Joseph E. Holmes in 1869, local canal boat builder, who started expanding the scope and nature of the shop, entering into trade agreements with canal boat companies to receive and send merchandise on the boats.

Great store with tons of gift options. I used to come as a child and have fond memories. We took our daughter tonight and loved exploring the store and checking out all the unique items. We also enjoyed the free light show. Go support this local small business!

Amazing inventory of great at, unique products. Better still however, was the super customer service I revived after a checkout mistake resulted in one of the presents I’d bought not being included in the bag. Careful review of the receipt with one of the shop owners revealed the item was inadvertently not included in my purchase. They called me back and special ordered another one for me in time for Xmas. Really highly responsive business owner. I’d recommend this shop to anyone looking for unusual and one of a kind presents!

Love this store, always have. We miss Gary though. By the way lose the mask requirement please! Let’s get back to normal. CDC has remove New York State as being in any kind of emergency situation and there are many other stores to shop in that do not require masks
*****Thank you for the update about the mask requirement changing two weeks ago. The reason I wrote that about the masks was because on your website as recently as today it does say “masks required.”******
Thank you and I will certainly see you soon.

Found this on google under “souvenir shops” on my way from Catskills, NY back to Connecticut. I would say the term “souvenir shop” is a sheer understatement. Don’t let the tiny cute storefront fool you, because this place just keeps going and going - upstairs, downstairs, left and right - it unfolds into a maze of rooms filled with everything imaginable. It’s a combination of Christmas tree shops, souvenir store, Yankee Candle store and then some. Everyone from handmade soaps to kitchen gadgets to Christmas decor, jewelry, clothes, pottery, art - you name it, they have it. Very impressive
