If you love things that sparkle and shine, then look no further than the Gem Mountain Sapphire Mine just 20 miles outside of Philipsburg. At the mine you can buy a bucket of 100 percent natural sapphire gravel, and they will supply you with the tools needed to find that one of a kind gem. If you’re not the getting dirty type, you can always visit the Gem Mountain store in downtown Philipsburg and find a polished and ready to wear gem.

While you’re strolling through the streets of Philipsburg, be sure to stop by the Sweet Palace. It is floor to ceiling locally made candy. They feature 50 different flavors of fudge, 72 different salt water taffy flavors, 20 different caramel varieties and endless taffy flavors. For those of you who are on a sugar free diet, they have over 90 different candies to choose from for you. They have something to satisfy everyone’s sweet tooth.

Sweets for your eyes and sweets for your taste buds aren’t all this town has to offer. If you’re looking for a blast from the past, check out the 16th Annual Flint Creek Valley Days Classic Car Show. You can catch a glimpse of these beauties on July 28, 2013. If you need another reason to visit Philipsburg, you can catch Shakespeare in the Park on August 14, 2013. There will also be a live concert by country singer Kelly Hughes on that beautiful Wednesday in August.
