Originally conceived as a part-time business, the idea behind For A Song & A Story was to provide a joint endeavor between Cindy Shivers and her mother, Eleanor Huffman, as an antique and book booth in the Shoppes at the Old Mill. Little did anyone know in 1999 it would turn into the venture that it is today.

Initially named "For A Song" the idea was that you could buy desirable vintage items for a reasonable price. Some of those original items and ideas drive the business as it stands in 2017.

On the main level of the store a different feeling comes about for our more musically inclined individuals. Here, music becomes the topic of conversation as folks get the feel of a presence of artistry and enjoyment in the retail area and the music studios.

On any given weekday, the music studios are busy with lessons. All ages and levels of students participate. Some with experience, some who are beginners, and even some who may be professional looking to brush up on the fine art of performance.
