Chicago Tribune features Schimpff's

JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind. — Warren and Jill Schimpff's red-hot business began more than 120 years ago downtown, just north of the Ohio River across from Louisville, Ky.

Schimpff's Confectionery (812-283-8367, schimpffs.com) began producing Cinnamon Red Hots from the location in 1891, which makes it one of the nation's oldest family-owned candy shops. Also in the building: a free museum of candy history and adjacent soda fountain with lunch counter.

This is a very cool little business and well worth a trip to experience. Take the kids, show them what a real candy store looks like. So nifty.
