Missing something? Historic Downtown Aiken offers a lot
great shops, there is a lot foot traffic on Laurens Street but there are some
cool businesses you might be missing out on. Let’s take a walk together on Park
Ave heading towards the Aiken Train Depot on Union Street.
One my favorite finds is Tumbleweed. Tumbleweed is
where western meets boho chic with a dab of vintage taste. There are some
exciting leather, goods and boots. Let’s see Joel
will show us around. They also offer hat cleaning and shaping!
