Story

Schimpff's Confectionery is a historic candy maker, confectionery store and museum located in Jeffersonville, Indiana, within the Old Jeffersonville Historic District. It was opened in 1891 by Gustav Schimpff Sr. and Jr. at the current site, although the family had been making candy in the Louisville, Kentucky area since the 1850s. The business has remained in operation the entire time. It is most famous nationwide for its Red Hots, although it also features Modjeskas (caramel-covered marshmallows named after the Polish actress Helena Modjeska who once visited Louisville) and hard candy fish. The museum, attached to the store, features candy exhibits throughout the ages, including Hershey's and Nestlé's paraphernalia.It was featured on the History Channel's Modern Marvels and by the Historic Landmarks Foundation of Indiana in 2004. It is also noted as one of Indiana's seven "Hidden Treasures."

Cutest little candy shoppe. The store smells wonderful- so sweet. The museum in the back is very compact but has so much impressive history. Set aside some time to look closely though there. I was lucky enough to get to watch a demonstration. Making candy seems easy but is hard work. After watching step over and pick up some candy. So many choices! Everything tastes great!

Great little candy store. Again, I go there a couple of times when I'm in town and always return home with the hot cinnamon candies. Mainly because I've eaten all the rest of the stuff before I leave New Albany. It's a fun store great little Fountain area for food and drink and the expansion makes it a little easier to get around in there

How can you not like this old time gem! Like stepping back in time. Parking is easy, there's a large parking lot within close proximity of the store. I've been going here since I was a little kid on my first field trip. They do candy making demonstrations with free tastings at the end of each demonstration. They make it fun and informative. The lovely couple that owns Schimpff's do the making and talking. She's a riot. It is pretty much word for word each time, but who cares! You could listen 7 times and still laugh. I take people that come in from out of town by here when we are in Jeffersonville so that they can get the full experience. Each year my local fire department does a Crusade For Children auction and we can always count on the cinnamon candy auctioning off for no less than $50. It makes a great donation item, and we really appreciate them doing this for us every single year. The people that go to our auctions all the time expect the cinnamon candy and are willing to give for the children to enjoy the cinnamon candy. The Schimpff's confectionery candy ranges anywhere from chocolate covered pretzel sticks to Buckeyes to lemon hard candy drops. You can find just about anything you want in the store. They have hundreds of candy molds. In the back of the store there is also an old Pharmacy Style soda fountain and Deli area. You can get root beer floats and original Vanilla Cokes with a chicken salad sandwich, if that's what you're into. I've not had anything that's been bad, and everything is pretty much handmade right in front of you.

Love this cute local candy shop. The store is limited on space and is full of CANDY. The have a mini candy museum and if you go at the right time you can catch them making their famous red hots. They use antique equipment and still use traditions from over 100 years ago. Neat place to visit with delicious treats.
