White’s Mill is awesome. For starters, it’s a beautiful old building that sits next to the Hocking River (great view!). They sell locally made art, jewelry, accessories, pottery, leather wares, and more. Lots of Athens themed goods. Plenty of kids toys, pet supplies, gardening tools and plants, plants, and more plants.
