The North Country Folkstore is TAUNY’s museum shop. The Folkstore features authentic, handmade products from more than a hundred individuals and families throughout the region. It provides an outlet for local traditional artists to sell their items and a resource for visitors to find local products for souvenirs and gifts.

Proceeds from Folkstore sales support TAUNY’s educational programs, including performances, demonstrations, and workshops by master traditional artists. We appreciate your enthusiastic support.
