ANGLINS DRUG STORE

Even today, the legacy remains. The town is still remembered, and to a lesser extent still known, for its fine leather goods. You can still have a fountain soda at Anglin's Drug Store - it's been there for years. The old Bona Allen High School is just around the corner.

A quick walk up Main Street, past the drug store, is the Museum of Main Street, a quaint tribute to the Buford community (a must-see, if you are in town, by the way).

Artists began settling in Buford in 1984 or so, and haven't stopped since. The Buford Artists Colony is now a collective community of over 30 local artists and craftsmen. The "colony" consists of storefronts spanning an entire city block. There you'll find traditional paintings in oil, watercolors, acrylics, pastels, colored pencil, gouache, and would you believe, egg tempera?! In addition, you'll encounter some of the most interesting works in wood, glass, and fabric I've seen. In addition to the galleries and studios, you'll encounter boutiques, a gourmet cafe, and would you believe this - Floyd's Barber Shop!!!
