Looking for gifts in addition to pottery? A visit to the Apple Barrel and Wellington's Herbs and Spices will surely fulfill your needs. www.applebarrelcountrystore.com and www.wellingtonsherbsandspices.com . Generations is located right on Main Street in Schoharie; they have gifts and antiques. You will find plenty to do and see in Schoharie County.
The Tory Tavern, http://www.torytavern.com/ on Route 443 is just three miles from the shop. The Tory Tavern has a delicious menu served to you by wait-staff in colonial garb. The restaurant is beautifully decorated by owners Ralph and Irmgard Buess. I highly recommend dining there, it is my favorite (and the desserts...wow!).
