Love locomotive history or collect toy trains? Make your way to the back of the store for an immersive experience. Before I knew it, I was exclaiming with delight like a child admiring toys that I had enjoyed in my younger years. I particularly enjoyed The Toy Depot, one of 15 toy stores in the nation that only stocks vintage toys. This eye-catching mural is just one of many painted on the sides of buildings in the downtown Hutchinson district.ĭuring a downtown stroll, you’ll stumble upon one antique shop after another. Hutchinson is unapologetically authentic, so it’s no surprise that the town celebrates local artists’ talent with pride. I thoroughly loved catching a glimpse of new murals at every turn. Keep your camera handy as you will spot numerous public art sculptures and building murals during your walk. Oh and that sour cream donut? It lasted about five seconds.Īfterward, make your way to the downtown district to make the most of your morning.
I was “Caught in the Act” wearing my mask at Scuttlebutt’s, so one of the employees gave me a sticker. Their work is simply incredible and is available for sale in the retail store. The studios and gallery are a “creative hub” for artists with disabilities. Be sure to walk around the facility and check out the beautiful, handcrafted pottery and artisan gifts at The Clayworks. The employees treat patrons as if they are close friends. There are a number of coffee shops in town, but this is one is highly rated for its selection of coffee and fun atmosphere. If you’re only in town for the day, the best way to maximize your time is to start at Scuttlebutt’s at The Clayworks for a cup of coffee and a warm pastry. Just as you would expect from a quaint Midwestern town, its downtown district is lined with antique shops, eateries, and gorgeous public art. Known for its history of salt mining, it is actually a pretty sweet town to visit. The town of Hutchinson is a hidden gem located about an hour from Wichita, Kansas.
