Kelly Seed & Hardware Co.

There's something about an old hardware store that brings back a sense of wonder. Kelly Seed & Hardware, 202 Hamilton Boulevard, has graced downtown Peoria since 1920.
They carry bulk and packaged seed, bedding plants, bulbs, lawn ornaments, bird seed and feeders, all surrounded by beautiful old oak cabinets and seed bins. This is a neat store to poke around in.
