Salt Fork Gift Shop & Brady General Store

Our gift shop at Salt Fork Resort & Conference Center is fashioned after the Brady General Store that stood near the Lodge sight prior to the formation of the Salt Fork Reservoir and State Park. Dating to early homestead days in the Guernsey County area, the Brady General Store served as market, bait shop, polling place, post office, public meeting house, wedding chapel, pharmacy, news agency and possibly even a stage coach station (rumors abound!). By retaining the large plank wooden floor and utilizing barrels, bushel baskets and glass candy jars we hope to preserve the atmosphere and rich heritage that thrived in the Salt Fork region 100 years ago.

Kennedy Stone House

Still standing in the park is the Kennedy Stone House, whose builders and descendants patronized Brady's General Store. To help keep that history alive, the Fred Harvey Trading Company Gift Shop at Salt Fork offers limited edition prints of the Kennedy homestead. All proceeds from these sales are donated to "The Friends of the Kennedy Stone House," a nonprofit organization dedicated to the restoration of this unique structure. The Kennedy Stone House is listed on the National Historic Register. For more information about the Stone House or to visi, ask the Front Desk.

The Fred Harvey Trading Company has a long tradition of offering memories that you can take home. You will find a vast selection of gifts and other specialty items. Hours may vary depending on the season.

Forget to pack something? Not to worry! Our gift shop offers a selection of toiletries and dry good items from toothpaste to swimwear.
