'It's been a great journey:' After 61 years, Susquehanna Trading Post closes
It was the kind of place where you could find something for anybody.
Many of the customers from all around who stopped by the Susquehanna Trading Post near Duncannon were looking for a special gift for that hard-to-shop-for loved one.
And quite a few of those who shopped there for the last 61 years were repeat customers, stopping in every couple of months - or even every couple of years - to find a special gift. The trading post even survived the onset of online shopping.
"A lot of people go to the Internet, but we still have customers who want to see their gifts and feel their gifts," owner Rebecca Richmond said today. "It's the hunt of finding something."
But now, for those customers, the hunt is over. Richmond, 63, is retiring, and the Susquehanna Trading Post is closed.
The trading post, that big building on Route 11/15 near Duncannon, officially closed its doors on Oct. 16 as Richmond prepares to move to the Charlotte, North Carolina area, where her family comes from.

Been by this place lots but never stopped. Comment on Adult Book shops made me snicker (you have to be familiar with the area for that inside joke)
