“I must have flowers always.” This quote describes the sunshine Lucketts brings to my life.
This quaint and seemingly untouched town was originally called Black Swamp. They say it is because of the Black Oak trees growing in the area. The town later became known as Goresville from the late 18th century until the mid-19th century. The town derived its name after a Thomas Gore a prominent local man. In 1865 the town changed its name again to Lucketts in 1865. The town’s Lucketts School is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
When I am looking for a unique gift for a creative person I go meander through the antique stores. A must stop are my favorites:
* Bee Keepers Cottage
* The Old Lucketts Store
* Rust and Feathers
There is the design house that has various dates to which it is open. I have not been able to be there on those days but here it is stellar.
This last trip we scored an Elvis Presley record, metal basket, 2 old photos mounted on a board with a news blurb and a must have tote Lucketts tote bag.
The shops are open mostly 10-5 everyday of the week. Most of the shops are located around the only stop light in Lucketts.
