Christmas at the Montgomery Snowing outside - Pickin' inside
Whether it's inside, out front, or out back, pickers enjoy getting together to swap tunes.
Make us your first stop in the Historic Village of Gold Hill. We're just what you're looking for. We're the Information Station for History Brochures, Trail Maps for Hiking/Biking on the Gold Hill Rail Trail as well as Gold Hill Souveniers, Gems and Minerals. We even have Gold Samples and Miners Assay Bottles with real 24 carat gold inside. If you're interested in a lesson in Gold Hill history or just have a few questions, ask for Vivian. As local historian, she heads the Education Committee for the Historic Foundation and serves as Vice President of the Historic Gold Hill and Mines Foundation, Inc.
Young and young at heart also enjoy stopping by the Montgomery for Hershey's Hand-Dipped Ice Cream, Cold Long Neck Cheerwine, Nehi Grape and Orange Soda. We also have A&W Rootbeer, Pepsi and Coke Products as well as Old Fashion Candies. And don't forget the Homemade Fried Apple Pies (Grandma's Recipe) available weekends at The Montgomery.
And now the E.H. Montgomery General Store's Backroom Saloon serves Ice Cold Montgomery Old Fashion Sweet Tea and Sarasparilla Soda.
Of course the strongest drink you can buy at Montgomery's Backroom Saloon is Rootbeer and Birchbeer. You gotta come try it. It's all good.
Come early on Friday nights! It's usually standing room only!

'The Fiddle' makes full circle and returns home
One of the fiddles built by my father, Ralph Pennington, has quite a story to tell. It is a mate to a fiddle
built for long time musician friend Jim Shumate of Hickory, NC . This one was originally built for my cousin Ramona Church.
