In 1950 my grandfather Waylon Stevens built our building, and with his nephew Marvin Stevens, opened a farm supply store at our current location.
Then in 1972, my Mom, Rebecca Mullen changed it to The Shop Easy, a general store, garden shop, along with an art and craft shop.
We changed the name to Ashley's, after my stepson Charles Ashley Myers back in 1996.

I have been acquiring artwork and other collectible memorabilia from Rick Mullen, the proprietor of Ashley Art Gallery, since 1993. Rick personally gets to know his clients and knows what their interests are in collecting artwork. He continually provides the latest artwork from the most renowned artist in the world. He also brings these artists into his store for art signings. It ends up as a big event with food, beverages and live music at times with everyone having a great time. Rick also donates artwork to many charity events to raise money for a vast variety of worthwhile causes. He was recently recognized as an honorary member of the “Area Son's of Union Veterans Organization” for all his contributions to this organization. If you enjoy artwork, get to know Rick to receive the best service any business owner can offer.
