We all have probably gone to downtown Versailles at some point in our lives. Whether it was to eat, to go to a festival, to go to Activate Cafe, or even to just walk around, we have all been downtown, and likely seen the numerous small businesses that reside there. “My favorite place is the Amsden because it’s such a chill and welcoming environment. I love the aesthetic and the workers. I suggest the hot chocolate for everyone that goes there!” said Nicole Feldner (10).  From the miscellaneous assortment of items at Marketplace on Main to the spotlight on local artists at Gathered Mercantile, the businesses of downtown Versailles truly have something for everyone.
