Hein & Company Books and Antiques is a hidden gem and a great old-fashioned bookstore with a lot of character. It is a must-see place to experience "being in a bookstore," filled with wondrous and whimsical accouterments. The space features slow creaking floor boards, entire pillars made of books stretching from floor to ceiling, and cases filled with fossils and minerals. Cozy chairs and settees on threadbare rugs sit among familiar old volumes. It is like accessing a Dickens Fair through the back stairway of an old bookstore, with a neat upper floor set up like a town for mystery plays. Visitors are transported to another time while exploring all the nooks and crannies. The store has a nice selection of books and records, along with a coffee bar, wifi, and charging spots. It is a beautiful place for a fun experience, where one can relax and always come away with some fun finds.
