Spring at the Rickman Store Tuesday, May 04, 2021 The arrival of spring marks a new season of weekly festive gatherings at the Rickman Store in Macon County. Mainspring Conservation Trust and the Friends of the Rickman Store (FORS) invite the community and visitors to the region to visit this historic building every Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. starting May 8. This year, the Rickman Store proudly joins eight other sites in Macon County that have been selected for inclusion in the Blue Ridge Craft Trails, an initiative of the Blue Ridge National Heritage Area that promotes the must-see destinations for traditional and contemporary art. Our local artists, writers and craftsmen exhibit their work and creations in this friendly venue.
