Just passing through Afton and curious if we might open the shop for you? Give us a ring and we will try our best to accommodate. We look forward to seeing you.

TRAVELING TO SHOP HORTA CULTURE
Given the ongoing construction season that can very well hobble small, destination businesses, we invite you to visit Horta Culture by the scenic byways from whatever cardinal direction you might be coming from.

OUR CRIS DE CŒUR TO CHOOSE BEAUTY AS A MATTER OF PRINCIPLE
In our shared effort to slow down to enjoy the countryside for all its bucolic beauty and because we all prefer aesthetic alternatives to mere traffic - especially if the choice only adds a few minutes, we have compiled, for all planning a visit to Afton, a number of variations to the roads more traveled which dominate the directions charted on one's GPS - ways which unfortunately favor the highways most effected by the construction season which we wish to avoid most.

Instead, we invite you breathe easy and enjoy a country drive through idyllic fields and forest, if only in part, so that your visit to shop Horta Culture and the gardens at the Carnithan-Squires House is a more relaxing and memorable pleasure.

We hope these serve you well and look forward to welcoming you in the old village of Afton along the Saint Croix River.
