Voted Best Downtown
Huntsville Retail Establishment in 2026
Ready for a shopping experience with charm, character, and great finds? Welcome to Harrison Brothers Hardware on Huntsville’s Courthouse Square—a North Alabama gem filled with treasures from local artists, artisans, and makers.
Since 1897, we’ve welcomed shoppers into a landmark building with real history, built in 1901. Here, you’ll still see the original counters, shelving, cabinetry, and floors. And yes, we still ring up sales on our 1907 National Cash Register.
Inside, explore a curated collection of local and regional favorites, including:
Art & pottery
Jewelry
Gourmet foods & soaps
Books
Housewares & children’s toys
Shopping here is also part of something bigger. Harrison Brothers is owned and operated by the Historic Huntsville Foundation (HHF) as part of our preservation mission. Harrison Brothers is also home to the Historic Huntsville Museum, listed by the National Park Service to the prestigious Reconstruction Era National Historic Network.
Come see us on the Courthouse Square.
