MONTEZUMA — If you are looking for a special Christmas or birthday gift for the hard-to-buy for person, consider checking out Hometown Treasures in Montezuma.
Located just off the Montezuma Square at 409 E. Main St., next door to Star Lanes, the business specializes in antiques, gifts, home and kitchen décor items, collectibles, small decorative furniture items, seasonal holiday items and books by local authors, J.O. and Debbie Parker.
The business opened in October 2024, and the store opened in November 2024.
The business is under the direction of Gavin Tindle of Montezuma and others.
In addition to the store, Tindle and company offer online estate and business liquidation services.
“The reason I started the business is because I enjoy buying antiques and other used items,” said Tindle. “By doing this, I have gained the knowledge to help others sell their items.”
The online auctions are held through Hibid.com.
Auction items include everything from household and kitchen items to furniture, electronics, bedroom sets, sofas and chairs, china hutches, antiques and collectibles, toys, tools, garage items, automobiles, lawn furniture and yard decorative items.
The business is currently accepting home and business liquidations and home downsizing all across the state.
Store hours are Tuesday and Thursday, 10 a.m. — 2 p.m. The business is also open by appointment.
The business is currently offering Christmas specials on Saturdays from 9 a.m. — 2 p.m. through Dec. 20. A store scavenger hunt is set for Nov. 22, cookie and hot chocolate day is Nov. 29 and Touchstone Crystal with the Sparkle Sisters is scheduled for Dec. 6.
