Known as one of the oldest candy stores in the United States, Shane Confectionary opened in 1863. Staff of the store still make each piece of candy from scratch, and you can buy your treats by the piece and not by the pound. If you’re looking for something a little more original (meaning no brand names), Shane Confectionary has you covered.
