Sauser's Hardware

The history was right there in your face, everywhere you turned. Things I hadn't seen since my youth. Wooden topped, glass front display cases. Old metal bins for loose nails and screws. A store where you could purchase one nail, or a kitchen towel, or a snow blower, or some candy for your kids. I realized I needed an ice scraper for my new car and the owner (I looked him up) told me he would go to the basement since the scrapers weren't up from the basement yet. I bought a reasonably price scraper with brush, a shorter one, and another one with a metal blade which is hard to find anymore. Stop in to see how small towns are still doing it up right.

You don't come across the quintessential independent hardware stores so often anymore, but Sauser's has been in this family more than a century and has operated even before that under previous owners as a general mercantile store. You can find everything it seems, from nuts and bolts to kitchen and garden items, even a wide array of gifts. Best of all, Mike and his clerks are super helpful and friendly. You can get your mower fixed here, too. Tom does a great job with that. My favorite store, for sure.

Sauser's is my go to place. I try the local hardware first and when they don't have what I need - I know who does. Huge selection of items, from mower parts to plumbing supplies. Very knowledgeable staff.

Our family stumbled on the place while vacationing on the lake. Had the pleasure of talking with the owner, Mike, about the store's history and family name. They have neat collectibles and unique gifts! Glad to call this place family!
