Great small town shop. This whole town is something I think any traveler should visit. A lot of history and friendly little local shops. IF you're in the area check this place out.

This is a must if you’re visiting Bishop Hill, or just passing through. They have such a wide selection of snacks, decor, and more! I found myself the sweetest little Tomte to guard over my home and my family ❤️

A nice gift shop with a variety of items, some humorous, some artistic, artisan coffees, candy, etc. located in the religious colony's original store. Helpful staff to guide touring the village

Shop bishop hill! Older colony communal area from years past. Take some time to get to know the states history and its relationship with early settlers. The colony store is a quaint little place with Swedish items and food.

Adorable general store with a strong representation of it’s Swedish heritage. Lots of Swedish items (dala horses, Tomte,etc). Be sure to grab some lingonberry coffee beans ( they will grind it for you if needed) and some chocolates. My husband love the chocolate malt balls… I love the assortment of truffles

The Colony store is a must visit on every visit to Bishop Hill. From old fashioned candy sticks to the most unique teas and gifts, I always find something unique to bring home. Weird I have discovered the most wonderful teas from this store over the years. The old fashioned gifts such as the sheepish horse or wooden ornaments are a good reason to stop here. Then the bonus of the old fashioned candy. Do yourself a favor and stop and shop.
