Frequently Asked Questions

What is Gifts Inn Boonsboro?

We are a local and regional art gallery that carries over 100 artists year-round: each with their own unique expression and preferred artistic medium. We are also, the official gift shop for Inn Boonsboro and proudly feature the locally-sourced: coffees, teas, memorabilia, and amenities of the Inn.

Are the Artists Local?

Yes! We carry artwork from artists that literally live just down the road to artists that are an hour to two away. And as we are close to the thinnest part of Maryland, we proudly claim those states as local enough. For the rest we try to purchase from USA Based Artists as much as possible.

Can you get to Turn the Page Bookstore from inside Gifts Inn Boonsboro?

No. There is no walkway or stairs into Turn the Page Bookstore from inside Gifts Inn Boonsboro. So, if you’re visiting the bookstore make sure to visit us! We are to the left of the bookstore from the outside.

Are we connected to Nora Roberts?

Yes! We are owned by Nora Roberts and her family. We are proud Nora fans. But we are also, enthusiastic Boonsboro Warriors and passionate supporters of Artists, Shopping Small, Supporting Local Communities and Small Business Owners.
