A nice stroll along Seventh Street

The historic district of downtown Comfort brings delight to its many visitors. High Street gets a lot of attention, but what about that perpendicular thoroughfare – Seventh Street? This month we will take a stroll up that way.

Our first stop is the Tinsmith’s Wife, on the corner of Seventh and Main. The name is catchy without giving a hint as to what’s inside.

Here’s the story. Long ago, the building next door was the shop of the local tinsmith. Imagine that the wife of the tinsmith did a lot of fine handwork – crochet, knit, embroidery, needle point and cross stitch. How appropriate, then, that the shop next door would be called The Tinsmith’s Wife! And if you haven’t been there, you must go!
