Shops: Metamora is not an incorporated town and cannot enforce any rules or requirements to shop owner as to the hours of availability.  Because the Metamora Shops are owned and operated by individual shopkeepers the hours for the shops vary according to each individual shopkeepers preference.  Because of this, we can't provide an exact number of shops open on a daily basis or the exact hours of business. Typically, you'll find the majority of shops and eateries are open 10:00 am to 5:00 pm May through Dec on the weekends and some are also open Tue - Thursday.  Almost all shops are closed on Mondays.  If you want to know if a particular shop is open please contact them for their hours.  The state facilities are open Wed - Sunday.  You can get information for each individual shop by going to Shopping/Dining.

During Christmas Walk you'll find many of the shops are closed during the week to prepare for the weekend.
