the "Ogham Stone"
|
This treaty stone symbolizes Kerrytown's historical connection to Ireland.
It was sculpted by Pieter Koning of Ireland from County Kerry stone
to replicate an existing stone located near Kilmalkedar in County Kerry.
The original stone was used to seal agreements in early Ireland by parties
touching fingers through the hole and thereby making their agreements
binding.

The coutyard between the market buildings
is a great place to take a break from shopping...

Atop the familiar tower of the market building sits a very special 7
ton musical instrument! It's a chime made up of 17 bells, 10 of which
were originally cast for St. Stephen's Church in Cohasset, Massachusetts
in the 1920s. The additional 7 bells were cast in 1997 by Royal Eijsbouts
Belifounders in The Netherlands, especially for Kerrytown. You can hear
the bells every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at noon, or by appointment
- call (734) 662-5008.

On the second floor, you'll find a
unique selection of shops nestled away, offering everything from kids
toys (Mudpuddles), to fine fashions
( Vintage to Vogue) and a truly unique selection
of Paper Arts supplies ( Hollander's).

 Many
are familiar with the outdoor Farmer's Market found in Kerrytown, but
step inside the first floor of the main building and you can find fresh
produce & meats ( Sparrow)
and seafood ( Monahan's) year-round.

You can also take a break from shopping
and grab a bite at Kosmo Deli,
or head across the courtyard and get a workout at Sparrow
