Made in USA at the Betts Gift Shop, Plus Crafts and Great Trains at Wilton Historical Society
Decorate gingerbread cookies, make pomander balls, visit Santa, shop in the Betts store and see the Great Trains holiday exhibit.
If you're still working on your holiday shopping list, the Betts Store at Wilton Historical Society is a destination for creative, one-of-a-kind gifts at reasonable price points.
The atmosphere is calm and parking is simple. But, best of all, the merchandise is made entirely in the USA. The only exception are some puppets made of recycled sweaters and socks from Canada.
Some clever gift ideas at the Betts store are fingerless hand-knit gloves from right here in Old Greenwich. There are also felt ornament kits, handmade wooden bowls and spoons, candles made from molds made from vintage finials, Saltbox Press cards, and so much more.
