The biggest compliment I received for the event came from Carter herself: "It was the most warm and imperfectly perfect signing I've ever taken part in!" Read more and see all the pictures!

Meet the Hammertown Barn Family!
 | Sales Associate, Crystal Vossler with her
gift pick...the Vitamix!

Many of us refer to The Barn as the "Mother Ship" of our Hammertown stores. It is the original - the place where Joan's first inkling of what Hammertown would someday become was born.

Meet them all here...
