Horton's Books & Gifts

Horton's Books & Gifts Established in 1891 - Georgia’s Oldest Bookstore, home to four store cats and one store ghost. Books, Gifts, Lap Cats and More! Founded in 1891 by N.A.

Horton's Books & Gifts offers vintage charm for modern lifestyles - a place to read, rest and relax away from the hectic pace of the world. Yes, we have Wifi, but we hope you'll be so delighted by what we have to offer that you’ll forget to log on. Horton, Horton's Books & Gifts has been a part of the Carrollton, Georgia community for over a century. Originally a source for school textbooks, the s

tore later expanded to include furniture, sewing machines, china, caskets and coffins. In addition to being a bookseller, Mr. Horton was also Carrollton’s local undertaker. He believed in offering the community a full-service store, a tradition that continues today – although we did stop selling caskets a few years ago. Operated by his son Hap after 1917, Horton's continued to grow along with Carrollton. After temporarily relocating to various buildings around Carrollton’s downtown square, Horton's returned to its original location in 1955, and has remained at 410 Adamson Square ever since as a refuge for bibliophiles. Antique pharmacy cases filled with books, antiques, coffee, tea and crafts line the walls, framing the original golden heart pine floors. Our recently renovated basement Bookcellar provides a cozy escape and offers a selection of used fiction and nonfiction books. And if you need a little help finding the perfect book or gift, our store cats Poe, Mayah and Dante are always available to lend a helping paw.
