Canaday's Book Barn

Nestled deep in the rolling hills of Pennsylvania around Carlisle is a lovely little 200 year old barn filled with books.  It's a wonderful, beautiful used book store that covers the main floor of the barn and the loft of the barn.  There are books of great age in the store, as well as relatively modern releases.  Sadly, business has not been good for the Canaday's lately and they are going to close the store.  But not before they sell off their inventory.  This is very good news for you!  If you live in the Mid-Atlantic region, and can set a day aside to drive to Carlisle, the trip is well worth your time. In this picture, we see the main floor of the barn from the top of the loft.  I really enjoyed the wide variety of genres, titles, and years that this collection encompasses. I don't know how much longer the barn will be open - so this would be the year to head up there and find a unique book in one of the most unique stores you've ever seen.  In the pictures below, you can see a few more glimpses of the interior.  It is a nifty little book store, isn't it?


Call before coming to verify that they are open!
