Rodgers Book Barn is a nice place to lose an afternoon in. It’s a charming old barn stuffed with well-priced, well-curated used books.

So charming, you will have a truly special experience perusing through newer and older books. Free cup of coffee/tea on the 2nd level that also has records, art and kids books. Pretty gardens.
