Visit Heritage Books, A Book Shop In Massachusetts

It’s not every day you can step into a book store in a building with a historic past. But at Heritage Books in Southampton, that’s exactly what you’ll find. This one-of-a-kind book shop in Massachusetts is the perfect place for both history buffs and bookworms to spend some time. So, take a step back into the past with a visit to Heritage Books.

Once upon a time, in 1904 to be exact, there was a town library in the building that Heritage Books in Southampton now occupies. This gorgeous structure was once the Edwards Library.

Head indoors through the large doors and you'll see many of the library's original architectural features. And, although it is now home to Heritage Books, it certainly has maintained the feel of a library.

Also inside are some fascinating antique pieces like this Ferris wheel acquired by bookstore owner Bruce Coombs in the late-1990s. Customers enjoy seeing this work of art!

Heritage Books is the shop to come for if you are in the market for used, rare, collectible, and antique books. If you can't make the drive here, the bookstore has over 10,000 titles available for purchase online.

No matter what genre you're looking for, you probably won't walk away empty-handed from here.

And for you history buffs out there, take a look at all the antiques and ephemera around. Being at Heritage Books is a little like being at a museum!
