Candy Heaven

Almost every kid's dream of being in a magical candy store can come true by going on a visit to the NORAD Toy and Candy Company.

It's located in a former woolen mill in North Adams, a town in western Massachusetts.

One step into the store and even big kids' eyes become huge when they spot dozens upon dozens of huge glass jars stuffed to the tops with every candy imaginable.

There are toys there, too, and some would make perfect Christmas gifts.

There are dolls, kaleidoscopes, popular "building blocks,"  mini-cars, and on and on.

The historic NORAD Mill on 60 Roberts Drive has been renovated and turned into offices, businesses,  restaurants, unique storefronts, and so forth.

What a perfect solution for what could have been an abandoned building from times passed. 

Rather than select candies for the kids, people within driving distance can give very unique gifts to the kids.  Give each one a $5 (or more) bill and take them to the Norad Toy and Candy Company so they can select candies of their choice.

No kid would ever forget that gift!

 By the way, history buffs might like to know that the mill was built in 1863 by Sanford Backinton for the production of woolen goods used during the Civil War, according to online written accounts.  

 Stay tuned and come back to visit again. 

We will show you more photos of things inside the store as well as the scary Halloween table!
