WHAT WE LOVE

Established in 1972 by Maureen Rodgers, Rodgers Book Barn in upstate New York is home to more than 20,000 second-hand books. The antique barn opens into a series of cozy, carpeted comfortably-appointed rooms lined with books, including a canoe repurposed as a book case. And keep and eye out for Sapho the resident feline.

"The Book Barn is a national treasure." – E.L. Doctorow
