We took over ownership of the Curiosity Shop in 2016, and have worked to establish our bookstore as a cornerstone of historic downtown Murphy, North Carolina.

Community Service
A passion for community service has led us to establish relationships with charities and ministries in our area, like Thistle Farms, whose body care products provide opportunities for healing, sanctuary, and employment for women survivors of trafficking, prostitution, and addiction.
Fair Trade
We’re committed to Fair Trade partnerships with organizations that represent craftspeople and artisans all around the world. We are proud to support Ten Thousand Villages, African Market Baskets, Sacred Threads clothing, and Anju Jewelry.
Founding Members
As founding members of the Murphy Business Association, we are engaged in working with other businesses to promote a vibrant economic community, by providing opportunities for education, networking, and special events for residents and visitors to our beautiful town.
