- biz_travlr007Detroit metro119 contributionsOk, it's not really hidden because it's the largest building downtown, but make time to stop in and browse! This is a wonderful shop with local artists and historic charm.Written August 31, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- marybT5775QNBattle Creek, MI243 contributionsAbsolutely loved the Farmers’ Market. We stopped on a Saturday and were pleased with the vendors that were there....probably between 15-20. The fresh veggies we purchased were reasonably priced and all of the vendors were friendly and helpful. We also purchased masks and cinnamon rolls. Yummy! We decided to go back the following Wednesday. We were disappointed that only 6 vendors were there. One of the vendors said that Saturday is the big day and that some of the other vendors go to Oscoda’s Farmers Market on Wednesday. As luck would have it, the cinnamon roll person was there and we were able to purchase a whole plate of cinnamon rolls. Also we were able to get more fresh green beans! And the blueberry crumble pie my daughter’s boyfriend bought was out of this world! Definitely worth a stop to the Farmer’s Market if you happen to be in Alpena on one of the days they are open.Written August 11, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- vwp11Milan, MI307 contributionsThis is a very nice gallery and I visit it often. The staff of artists is very friendly and knowledgeable about not only their own works, but those of their colleagues. Prices are very reasonable, especially if you're coming from the perspective of the Ann Arbor art fairs. Paintings, scultpures, photograhy, jewelry, and other artistic crafts, all made by local artists, really shine and you can get great art at a great value here.Written October 2, 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- L KAlpena, MI201 contributionsThis place is my favorite stop in Alpena. Love all the unique items. They have a great selection of wine and spirits. You can get a glass and wander thru the store. My hubby loves the craft beer selection and the golf simulator upstairs. The prices are so reasonable, which is hard to find these days.Written April 5, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Steve JakubcinAlpena, MI78 contributionsThe Local Basket Case is a gift shop located in Downtown Alpena. The owners, Griffin & Andrea know each item they sell intimately and can tell you the story behind it. It is a store with unbelievable customer service and if you are visiting Alpena is a place you must visit.
While you’re there make sure you check out the amazing art mural on the side of the building that was done by Michigan artist Tony Hendricks.Written April 12, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
