Look what we found in our attic archives! While looking through an old receipt book from Blue’s Jewelry Store, this photo fell out.

Pictured is the Blue family, whose jewelry store opened in 1885 on Gallatin’s historic square. It’s believed to have been the longest-running business on the square.

Do you have memories of Blue’s?💍 We’d love to hear them!
