We arrive at Josephine's Tea Room & Gift Shops where you'll have time to enjoy a delicious lunch (on your own) and get in a little shopping as well. What started as a small gift shop in 1979 grew into 3 tea rooms, Monticello House Clothing Boutique, the main gift shop, and their sale house, Fred's Shed. It's a unique blend of antiques, fashionable gifts and clothing, purses, shoes and jewelry. Lunch in the tearoom gives you choices of soups, salads, sandwiches and over 16 scrumptious DESSERTS! We make one last stop in Carlinville at Country Gypsey before departing for home.
