Something for Everyone’s Budget!
"It is easier to do a job right than to explain why you didn't." ~ Martin Van Buren Martin certainly knew how to do the "job right" of pounding down the beer when he used to come to the shop when it was called Groat's Tavern.
SMALL BUSINESS REALITIES:
As a one-woman shop (and with another full-time job), Jeanne tries her best to be open on the designated hours/days,
but sometimes life has to be lived,
or she’s traveling for her day job … or her family needs her …

Customer reviews
“Great shop run but an amazing, kind lady. She was so helpful and knowledgeable of the area. The shop is housed in the oldest building in Chatham which is an adorable town, and she has so many wonderful antique pieces dating back to the mid-1800s. The shop is rumored to be haunted by a few friendly ghosts, so if you’re out looking for spirits, this could be the place for you.

Our History
In 1811, Chatham, New York’s oldest (now haunted) building was erected, later called “Groat’s Tavern,” where President Martin Van Buren was a frequent patron. Rumor has it he knocked a few too many libations back during his “Society of the Detection of Horse Thieves” meetings. Lucky for him, riding drunk wasn’t illegal, and his trusted stallion knew the way home.
