Great hardware store, also with cast iron pans, unique cooking utensils and seafood boil vats. Garden decor, too. Nice Museum of Covington history.

2024, I was born in 1985... this is still a time warp for myself! Definitely worth the visit. Item and papers written from people dating further back than I could see but I did see 1923 hand written letter. Check out this place, it should be a specialized museum.
