You have to go and check out this place. It's fantastic with lost of memories from the past and the lady in the store is only too happy to give you a history lesson and let you take photos. Some of the items on sale may be a little bit expensive but if you want to take home a special... More

Loved the visit here. Wish I could have bought some of the antiques here though. The ladies and the young gentleman that were volunteering there were very knowledgeable and really friendly.

Harrison Brother's Hardware is an interesting location with a bit of a split personality. On the one hand it's somewhat of a neat step back in time to when a local hardware store meant something other than Home Depot or Lowes. One the other hand it's a better than average unique gift shop with an emphasis on all things Huntsville... More

It was great to step in here and reflect back to simpler less stressful times. Thanks for preserving this treasure. The old elevator was especially interesting!

The walls of this place are preserved as the old hardware store it was, but it's really a little gift shop in disguise. Good for an afternoon's diversion shopping.

It has been continuously operating as a hardware store (now a museum store) since 1897. It has old, creaky floors; a hand-operated elevator; cast-iron stove; large steel safe and early 20th Century desk with sales receipts and all sorts of early... More

Harrison Brothers Hardware is a really neat little shop located in downtown Huntsville across from the courthouse. It’s jam packed with all kinds of eclectic trinkets, gifts and souvenirs. I very much enjoyed just meandering the old hardware store. Not very much is available anymore, by means of actual hardware. Through the years, it’s been replaced with food items, cooking... More
