We went to Liberty Tool Company
Some great pictures here which give the feel of the place:

It's a delight. :) You can wander through the place for hours - three floors, densely packed, with things that aren't tools upstairs. It's a shame that their books are dusty and their vinyl records aren't stacked upright or sorted, but there's SO MUCH TO SEE. And we bought a scythe: dark gracefully curved wood, with with a shortish, business-like blade. Eor intends to use it to clear overgrown areas, because he figures that way he'll get a chance to uncover what's there before running a lawnmower into it and breaking blades. I hope he doesn't break the scythe blade, then he'll be unhappy.
And then we went across the road to Liberty Graphics and bought a couple of t-shirts and saw Captain Tew's trunk, which is sitting on the front porch. They claim it is an actual pirates trunk, and it is also registered as a nuclear waste facility because it was acquired with some smoke detectors inside it which contain Americium-241. (It was registered with the state as a form of protest against nuclear power, I guess?)
