Shop Till You Drop: Retail in Putnam County
Retail therapy is more than the thrill of a new purchase. Shopping local takes that feel-good experience a step further by supporting small and independently owned businesses, which are the heart of our county. Every purchase at a local shop helps sustain jobs, fuel our local economy, and preserve the unique character of our towns. It's a win-win—feel better, and do better, all in one trip.
