Garden of the God's Outpost in southern Illinois has been in business since 2017 and is a charming souvenir store with much to offer.
It is an especially lovely place to visit during the spring and summer when guests can typically sit outside and enjoy their ice cream treats, sodas, and other snacks while taking in the views.
The shop is charming inside and out. From the moment you step inside, you'll be in an old-fashioned world of country decor, homemade goodies, and more.
Hiking equipment, gifts for loved ones back home, Bigfoot memorabilia, and more also abound in this unique store. There's no other place like it in the entire state.
