It is a wonderful old times can't store. While we walked around my husband and I were constantly saying to each other if the other remembered things from our childhood. The name of some of the sodas are hilarious!! There was two little boys with their dad and they were so in awe of all the candy!!!! ~Mari

I do not bank here, but my family does. I went into the store with my son to make a deposit and was treated very rude. The teller did not introduce herself, greet us with hello, nor did she acknowledge us as we left. We definitely felt like an inconvenience upon leaving. This employee needs to work on her customer service skill set. One bad employee can destroy a reputable brand. I am not one to post many reviews, but I felt like this review was necessary. ~antonio

Wonder artisan community located on the shores of Winona Lake. Plenty to do a lots of shopping, dinning options. Plenty of walking and bike paths. From the Village at Winona Website - During the late 19th century, the Winona Lake area became home to the Beyer brothers, a family of enterprising dairy farmers who first saw the area’s artesian springs as a source of natural refrigeration for their company. Over time they saw the potential for much more. In 1887, the brothers built Spring Fountain Park, a resort complete with a hotel, a racetrack and a roller coaster. The resort was sold in 1894 to Presbyterian church leader Dr. Solomon Dickey, who dreamed of turning the area into a religious retreat. Thanks to his substantial improvements—including the building of homes, cottages and the canal—the succeeding years brought significant growth to the area. Conferences, church retreats and summer vacations swelled the Park’s seasonal tourism. By 1905, the resort and surrounding area had been renamed Winona Lake. The following ten years are now known as the ‘Golden Age’ of Winona Lake, with summer tourism reaching 250,000. It was during these years that evangelist Billy Sunday built a home in the nearby village. Thanks to Sunday’s presence, Winona Lake became a haven for religious community, its summer days filled with church conferences, conventions and training schools. The area became oasis for Midwesterners looking for rest and relaxation as well as strong spiritual community. In 1994, a restoration project began to transform the Winona Lake community to its former glory. With the creation of new commercial and residential areas, as well as the restoration of nearly 30 properties, new life began to reappear. Over the last 20 years the area has once again been transformed into one of Northern Indiana’s prime recreation and shopping destinations. The Village at Winona is now an integral part of the community, serving locals, Grace College students and faculty as well as the many vacationers who make day and weekend trips to the area. The Village contributes to Winona Lake’s unique character by welcoming small businesses seeking to build a sustainable presence in this welcoming and historic community. ~Christopher

I love visiting this shop when I’m back in Indiana visiting family. It’s full of perfect and unique gifts, and the pottery they sell there is beautiful. And I love the MudLove bracelets! ~Caitlin
