Old Hampton Store and Village

Old Hampton Store and Village Hampton Store was built in 1921 to serve the basic needs of a growing logging industry in the Blue Ridge Mountains. The Hampton Store is famous for having the High Country's only working grist mill along with their own fresh ground grist products. They also sell a line of their own labled gourmet jams, jellies and sauces. Live bluegrass music is scheduled throughout the week. The old timey antiques and candy store give you the feeling of being in a genuine country store. Take some time to visit Ruffin Art Gallery that is located next door before you leave.
