“What a gem! The Thirsty Prospector is a bar, ice cream shop, used bookstore and antique shop all in one. The bar and antique shop are on the ground level, and the used bookstore is downstairs in the basement. Be sure to go downstairs to see the old mine tunnel that led directly to what was the town's bar during the gold rush (a safety feature for miners, who were often robbed upon exiting the gold mine). So cool!”

“Amazing vintage collection! It has a mini bar where your partner can enjoy drinks while you soak in books. The place has antiques too and good collection of local history. Found a classic vintage at a very reasonable price here. Ask the store manager for book recs and you’ll find some hidden gems in there. Place is in the middle of downtown so parking would be farther.”
“I LOVE THIS BOOKSTORE. THEY HAVE A GOOD SELECTION. IF YOU CAN NOT FIND WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR. THEY CAN ORDER IT FOR YOU. THEY ALSO HAVE GREAT FRINDLY PERSONAL. IF YOU ARE IN THE AREA I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU GO IN AND CHECK THEM OUT”
“This was a quaint little place, with lots of small souvenirs like postcards and other knickknacks. It also had lots of wall hangings, and some other random stuff like flashlights and tree growing kits.”
