Of course, you’ll find fun things to poke through: old books, teacups, art, and more but you’ll also see some things you haven’t seen before.

Fort Half Moon Antiques is also big on Orange County history.

You’ll find plenty of Indian artifacts here as well as this intriguing sign to the right!

One of the owners of Fort Half Moon Antiques can tell you all about local history. He’s also a caver.

He willingly explores Indiana caves–and beyond!

His favorite here in the States? Marengo Cave. He says the formations are fantastic (and I have to agree). Since he’s traveled the world exploring caves, you can bet he knows!

He also informed us as to the extensive cave located below the town of Paoli itself!

A bit of history, a bit of antiques, and a whole lot of fun! This Paoli shop is one-in-a-million!
